Crystal Glass Rosary Bracelet Rosary Wrap Bracelet almost black inclusionsIn general, manmade crystal is a glass that has had one or more of certain minerals added to a standard glass formulation to make the product more brilliant. Lead is the mineral of choice here, as lead oxide added to the molten glass gives lead crystal a much higher index of refraction than normal glass, and consequently much greater sparkle. The presence of lead also makes the glass softer and easier to cut.
