About This Quiz
Crystals are solids made of organized groups of molecules and atoms which most often constitute of carbon, silicon and oxygen. These atoms form a uniform and repeating pattern giving crystals their unique and sparkly appearance. Naturally occurring crystals, such as gemstones, have been in existence below the earth’s surface for millions of years. They are believed to have been formed by the cooling of magma and pressure from overlying layers of rocks. Due to their rarity, many crystals are produced artificially in laboratories today.
First used by many ancient civilizations, such as the Romans, Greeks and Egyptians for their numerous healing purposes, crystals have now been given new purpose in today’s developing world. Not only are they currently used for the creation of fine jewelry, but crystals are also used scientifically.
