Crystal is
also known as " Sphatik " in Sanskrit. Its colour is white
like snow and it is transparent. This is most widely used
for making Idols, Yantras, Balls, pendants. malas and
bracelets. It is said that Goddess Parvati and Lord Shiva
reside inside crystal and hence idols made out of it can be
kept and worshipped directly without any " Pran Pratistha ".
Crystal is related to Planet " Venus " and hence it can be
used as a substitute of Diamond. It is also widely used in
watch and electronic industry because of its piezoelectric
properties.
