Clear lead crystal is a combination of silica and leads in varying concentrations. The higher the concentration of lead, the clearer the crystal will be, until the lead approaches 40% by weight, at which point the crystal starts to cloud. At higher concentrations of lead, it will turn white. By mixing in other elements, such as Iron, Copper, etc in varying concentrations, the crystal can be manufactured in different colours. In just the same was as with lead, varying the concentration of these elements can produce different densities of colour. It is a very difficult thing to do with repeatable success. For this reason, coloured crystal is invariably more expensive than clear crystal. It can however produce chandeliers with stunning visual impact.
