Crystal is a very spiritual mineral. Washing and Carrying crystal can wash away distracting thoughts in your mind. Also it also has a high collection value. So, how does an irregular piece of raw stone become an exquisite and beautiful crystal handcraving? Many people are curious about the processing of crystal. Its production process is very delicate and cumbersome. This blog will give you a detailed introduction to the processing of crystal. Let's read it together!
1. Mineral Collection
Mineral collection is the first step in crystal production. Crystals are often found in quartz mines. The collected crystals are first cleaned and screened. Then choose the high-quality parts or the most suitable part. .In the factory, raw stones of various materials can be seen everywhere. After receiving an order, the workers will select the appropriate raw stones for the next step.

2. Cutting
Cutting is one of the key steps in crystal production. Peel off the rough outer skin of the raw material. And cut the raw material into the required shape. Such as quadrilateral, square, rectangle, etc.
According to different production requirements, we have different cutting machines.Make sure the shape is precise.

3. Carving:
According to the design requirements and the hardness of the crystals of different shapes, different means are selected.
①It is very simple to carve crystal shapes such as point, heart, ball, plaything, etc. There is no need to trace lines and design drawings, just pay attention to the size during the carving process.

craftsmanship from workers. It requires patience and carefulness. Each carving must be precisely calculated and carefully operated. Any negligence will lead to damage to the work. According to the designed pattern, draw lines to determine the specific location and range of the carving. Roughly carve according to the drawn lines, and then transfer to the fine carving workshop for further completion. For example, for the carving of the skull, first carve out the rough shape of the skull, and then finely carve the eyes, nose, teeth and other parts.
③ The third type of sculptures is different from ordinary sculptures. Such as jade landscape paintings, flowers, birds, fish and insects. Drawings are required. Most of them are based on raw materials and use the characteristics of the original stone itself to design the works. It is necessary to consider the three-dimensional size of the sculpture and ensure the proportional size of each object in the whole work. It requires very high aesthetics, artistic creation and painting skills of the designer. After the draft is completed, it is first roughly carved to outline the overall shape. Then it is fine carving, based on the draft, repeated research, looking for the most beautiful side of the crystal. Continuous modification and improvement to ensure the accuracy of every detail, and finally present a perfect crystal product.
4. Grinding and polishing:
The carved crystal is ground and polished to make its surface smoother and remove surface impurities.
(1)Worker polishing
Apply fine sand to the polisher, place the crystal to be polished on the polisher, and gently rotate it in the direction of rotation. Polish the crystal until there are no scratches or impurities. For larger crystal products, use a handheld polishing machine to polish. The polishing time varies depending on the size and hardness of the crystal. Usually, a small crystal takes 3-4 minutes. A larger one may take 30 minutes.

(2) Machine polishing:
The use of machine polishing is simple and convenient, which improves work efficiency. It saves labor costs. Automatic polishing has uniform effect. When the drum rotates, the crystal gravel, sand powder and crystal to be polished roll and collide randomly in the drum, reducing the surface roughness and making the surface smooth.

5. Cleaning and inspection
Because the surface of the polished object contains sand powder or other gravel, it needs to be cleaned. After cleaning, the crystal enters the final step: inspection. Check the quality of the crystal product to ensure that it meets the design requirements and customer needs. Check whether the crystal product is damaged. If it is damaged, it will be reworked and repaired or abandoned and no longer sold. The qualified crystal will be loaded and shipped to the company, and then it can be sold and shipped.
