To celebrate the 8th China Donghai Crystal Festival, a super-sized "king
of crystal" was unveiled in Lianyungang's Donghai crystal market
recently. The crystal was excavated in Niushan Town of Donghai County in
1995 after billions of years underground. It weighs 1.99 tons, next only
to the crystal emperor collected in the Geological Museum of China. It
can well be said the crown of crystal for its superb quality and
transparency which is quite a rarity in the world.
