Quartz crystal sphere
(Brazil)
The name 'quartz' is originally thought to
come from the Greek word 'krustallos'
meaning 'ice' because it was thought that
quartz was ice formed by the gods.
Pliny the Elder supported this idea by
saying that quartz is found near glaciers in
the Alps and that large quartz crystals were
fashioned into spheres and used to cool the
hands. Since the Middle Ages, crystal balls
made of quartz have been used to predict the
future.
