Rock Crystal goes back to the Greek word "krystallos" (ice, icy cold), since according to ancient conception Rock Crystal was frozen ice that could not thaw. In the course of the 18th century, the prefix "rock" was added, since the term "crystal" was meanwhile also used for a natural growth form of various minerals.
Synonyms for Rock Crystal in general are mountain ice, ray, and water drop quartz. Misleading are occasionally found in the trade names that Rock Crystal as a diamond, for example, Arkansas diamond, Schaumburg diamond, German diamond or pseudo-diamond. Rock Crystal river pebbles of alpine origin are called Rhine pebbles.
