Do you know where
the color in crystal comes from?
Crystals are formed
by a very slow and controlled heat reduction process.
Chemicals used during the process, as opposed to dies, dictate the color. Different chemicals
absorb different wavelengths of visible light. The
result? We see the opposite of this color. For example, if the chemical added absorbed blue,
we would see an orange crystal.
Interestingly
enough, manufacturing a clear crystal is much more difficult than adding color. There can be no impurities during the
manufacturing process as even a small contamination could change the clarity of the
crystal.
