History & Origin

Krystale is an elaborated spelling of Crystal, from the Greek 'krystallos', 'ice, clear crystal'. The k and silent e give the gem name an ornamental finish.

It appears from about 1981 and peaks faintly near 1985 before fading by the mid-nineties over a short life. It stayed rare, one fancy spelling among many for the popular Crystal.

Did you know? The Greek 'krystallos' behind Krystale meant both 'ice' and 'clear quartz', because the ancients thought rock crystal was water frozen so hard it could never melt.
