Crystal glasses are more prone to scratching than regular glass due to their higher lead content, which makes them softer. It is important to handle crystal glasses carefully and avoid contact with hard or abrasive surfaces to prevent scratches. It is recommended to hand wash crystal glasses to maintain their clarity and avoid damage.
Not necessarily. While diamonds are the hardest known natural material and can scratch glass, there are other crystals like corundum (sapphires and rubies) and silicon carbide (moissanite) that can also scratch glass but are not diamonds. Additional tests are needed to confirm if a crystal is indeed a diamond.
There are double-terminated quartz crystals that have remarkable clarity and smooth crystal faces, which have non-scientifically been referred to as diamond quartz--the Herkimer Diamond is one so-named type of quartz crystal.
Scratching the sides of the beaker provides a rough surface for crystal molecules to attach to, promoting nucleation and crystal growth. The scratches create sites for the crystals to start forming, which helps to speed up the crystallization process and yields larger crystals.
A diamond can scratch a diamond, but one diamond cannot scratch itself.
You scratch an itch! An itch itches. You scratch an itch to remove the pain.
A store that sells musical crystal glasses! Obviously!
Crystal stemware is usually used for crystal glasses; mostly wine glasses. A lot of households in the 20th and 21st century use crystal stemware glasses for wine and other liquid consumables.
No, not a true crystal
Crystal glasses are not made out of crystal. They're made of regular glass in which the calcium is replaced with lead oxide or zinc, causing them to sparkle more than the usual type of glass.

Hell no. i ruined a pair!

Yes, crystal glasses can produce a singing or ringing sound when struck due to their unique composition and resonance properties.
There are multiple steps involved in the forming of crystal glasses. The initial process is called glass blowing. This is a long process which requires multiple people to perform the tasks of making crystal glasses. There is a great deal of information regarding this process on the eHow website.
Wine glasses are usually, and most often, made from lead crystal.
