Optic Crystal Awards

The most commonly used crystal in awards and trophies are made of optic crystals. This crystal is manufactured without putting any form of lead. Since there is no lead present in the crystal, they become very hard in nature. The hardness of this crystal makes it more beneficial. Due to its hardness the crystal can be polished into seamless shapes. The crystal can be cut and shaped with smooth edges without any difficulty. Optic crystal is manufactured in layers of molten material which remain between one to three inches. The molten crystal is put into heavy pressure in order to remove any air bubbles, just before the hardening process. The optic crystal is cut and designed by hand. Proper skill and expertise is required to perform this kind of action. To achieve the desired shapes the crystal is held against a spinning stone. The final product is used as a memento to offer someone as a form of appreciation. Any kind of flaw in the product will be considered as a failed attempt. Since, an award is given for excellent performance in a field; the making of the award also has to bear the marks of excellent work.

Difference between Glass and Crystal

The difference between glass and crystal is very rare. The difference between glass and crystal is not visible for the untrained eyes. But if you learn a little about it, you can clearly see the difference between glass and crystal. Any product of glass is built by using glass, which is 90 percent soda-lime. But crystal is mostly made of silica, lead oxide, soda or potash and other add-ons. While compared to glass crystal is mostly thinner. The glass objects are a bit shady when comes to clarity. But crystal products are excellently transparent. The glass products are little bit sharp to hold but crystal products are smooth and evenly designed.
