         Comments: It is also possible that ὕαλος should be interpreted as crystal; see {D:2.46}). In {S:06602101800028} and {S:06602102100048} the emphasis is upon the transparency of the glass.

         DefinitionShort: a very hard, translucent, and usually transparent type of quartz

         Glosses: crystal

         Comments: The equivalent of ‘crystal’ is often a descriptive phrase such as ‘a brilliant stone’ or ‘a shining stone’ or ‘a glass-like stone.’ In developing a satisfactory term for crystal, it is important to avoid possible confusion with diamond.|Some scholars, however, interpret ὕαλος in {S:06602102100048} as ‘glass’ (see {D:6.222}).
