25.23

'Crystal' [sphaṭika / 頗梨] (Correctly called sphaṭika; here translated as 'water jade'. In appearance it resembles rock crystal, and comes in red and white. The Mahāprajñāpāramitōpadeśa says: 'Ice over a thousand years old transforms into crystal beads,' but whether this is true or false has not been investigated).
