What is even more glass and what is crystal? In various countries, the rule for determining what is crystal glass and what is different.

Lead is added to the glass first, because the glass softens and adds his weight. This results in improved workability and then the refraction of light. Due to the breaking light falling on the surface of the rainbow colors. We also know crystal containing less than 24% lead, but not containing barium oxide and this again causes a high refraction of light.
