I believe that Rock Crystal is the name given to quartz crystals that have not been polished, and that are still "rough" looking. Another name for it would be just quartz.

Clear quartz is the pure-form crystal of silicon dioxide. But it rarely comes in it's pure state. Most of the time, there are other minerals present in it to colour it. For example, radium is the element that gives smoky quartz it's colour. Magnesium colours amethyst I believe..etc. Other cystals like Amythest or citrine, use just those names, although they are quartz.

Help any??
