The goal of this article is to incorporate the meanings attached to rock crystal lamps in the medieval Islamic world. The earliest rock crystal lamp to be mentioned is by the famous Qulaila, which used to hang in the mihrab of the Umayyad Great Mosque of Damascus. The rock crystal explains the prevalence of imported ceramics and glass. Approximately, two hundred rock crystal objects dating from medieval Islamic times are known to exist in many European churches. Moving forward, carved rock crystal is often asscioated with glass. Many rock crystal containers are similar in size, shape, and decoration.
