What's the difference between crystal and glass?

2 Answers

Crystal is a type of glass that contains anywhere from 2 to 30% minerals, often lead. The minerals in crystal glass strengthen the material, making it possible to produce, for instance, durable but thin wine glasses.

The main difference is that crystal contains anywhere from 2–30% minerals (lead or lead-free), making it possible to produce durable but thin glasses. It is also more transparent, brighter and thinner, making it a desirable choice for high-end glassware and decorations.
