A 15.4 cm crystal cup from China’s Warring States period was unearthed in 1990 in Luyi County, Henan. Carved from one piece of natural quartz, the national first-class relic was found with jade, agate and bronze grave goods. The video argues that its manufacturing process remains puzzling and that modern replicas have not matched it.
