Clarity is one of the four characteristics that determine both energy and aesthetic value in natural crystals, so understanding how to identify clarity is vital if one wishes to purchase high-quality pieces.

Clarity refers to how free of inclusions and blemishes a gemstone is from. Inclusions are solids, liquids or gases trapped inside minerals during their formation process that reduce its clarity.

It’s Clearer Than Glass

Glass and crystal may appear similar at first glance; however, there are distinct characteristics between them that help differentiate them. These include their handling characteristics, light reflection properties and more – these distinctions should be remembered when shopping for barware, decor or awards.

Crystal stands out in terms of clarity when compared with regular glass, often producing an almost-foggy appearance and tinted hues based on its ingredients (for instance a green tint when made from iron or blue tint when created with soda lime). Furthermore, crystal often weighs less.

Crystal contains strengthening minerals such as lead oxide and potash or soda that make it stronger than glass, and this allows it to be easily formed into thin, delicate shapes with elegance and sophistication. Tapping crystal produces clearer and longer sounds than tapping glass.

It Sparkles in the Light

Crystal clarity sparkles both in sunlight and under lights, which indicates its spiritual evolution and presence within. As more spirit flows through a stone or crystal, its shimmer will increase even further in response to light.

Fractures in diamonds can be treated to make them clearer and more beautiful by filling the crack with resin – much like fixing car windshield cracks. This process is known as fracture filled diamond treatment; reliable vendors should disclose this service, and you should always seek one which has been completed with care.

A City of Light can be thought of likening itself to a wheel, with the hub representing the central concept: living life with Crystal Clarity and expanding divine awareness. The spokes extending out from this hub represent all of the ways a community expresses this consciousness – through business, home building, family life, religion/spirituality/government etc – daily living is made manifest within each City.

It Has a Prism Effect

Photography uses prisms to produce rainbow effects, known as “prisming.” To do this, a glass prism must be placed directly in front of the lens to direct light toward creating these desired effects. Prisming has become an increasingly popular technique among still photographers and videographers of all skill levels, adding dimension without adding too much to workflow.

An increasingly popular option is a hexagonal prism, known for creating beautiful rainbow effects in chandeliers. Its faceted facet break light into vibrant colours to make an eye-catching visual element in any room. Prisms also play an integral part in scientific experiments to demonstrate refraction and dispersion principles; additionally they are perfect for art projects and other creative applications.

It Rings With a Clear Tone

Experience is best experienced through artistic expression; no other form can provide such a direct experience. A person may lecture and theorize about an idea, but to truly grasp its depth, one needs to feel it with all their senses.

Why the arts matter: Art can serve as the spokes of a wheel that radiates outward from Crystal Clarity and touches all aspects of people’s lives.
