Rock crystal split necklace from China
Rock crystal
Rock crystal is the colourless, transparent variety of quartz and consists of pure silica. It crystallises in the trigonal crystal system and often forms well-developed six-sided prisms with a pointed tip. Due to its clarity and glassy luster, rock crystal is one of the best-known and most widely used quartz varieties.
The mineral occurs worldwide, with important deposits in Brazil, Madagascar, Switzerland and the United States, among others. Rock crystal occurs in hydrothermal veins, pegmatites and metamorphic rocks. Its chemical formula is SiOâ‚‚ and its hardness is 7 on the Mohs scale. Well-known varieties of quartz such as rose quartz, amethyst and smoky quartz differ from rock crystal by their colour-causing inclusions or radiative influences.

Our necklaces are available in various designs, including faceted, ball, split and knotted necklaces. Currently, all necklaces in our range are 45 cm long, which corresponds to a standard wearing length for most neck sizes. The beads or slivers used vary in shape and finish, giving each necklace a unique character.
The bead size varies depending on the type of chain, from around 4 mm in finer models to around 8 mm in the somewhat coarser versions. For split necklaces, uneven pieces of stone are used, with the split used varying from 5 to 10 mm, giving a natural look. Knotted necklaces feature a knot between the beads, which is not only decorative but also contributes to the strength of the jewellery.
Keep in mind that not every variety is available in all designs or bead sizes.
