Crystal with Ice Crack and 12-sided Seashell & Pearl from Japan

1. Crystal: This indicates the base material is a crystalline substance. Could be natural quartz crystal, it's likely to be manufactured glass or a lab-created crystal. Without more information, the specific type of crystal is unknown (e.g., quartz, glass, lead crystal, etc.). 2. Ice Crack Treatment: This is a decorative technique, to create an internal fractured look within the crystal. The process involves rapid heat and cooling specific areas of the crystal. It creates internal fractures. The fractures often referred as "ice cracks" This treatment is primarily aesthetic. Fractured areas catch & reflect light, interesting & unique ways, making crystal visually dynamic. Ice crack treatment controlled doesn't make the crystal fragile. Cracks are internal and don't reach the surface. 3. Ice crack treatment was done in Japan. Japan has a long tradition of high quality craftsmanship and artistry especially in glass making, advanced techniques, & details. .4. The crystal is not a simple cube or sphere, but rather a dodecahedron., "A 3-dimensional shape with 12 flat faces. This shape adds another layer of visual interest, as the light will refract and reflect differently from each face, potentially accentuating the ice cracks. It's designed to catch and reflect light in an aesthetically pleasing manner.
