Optical Crystal for Crystal Awards
Optical crystal is the finest crystal in the world. A delicate process of grinding and polishing creates crystal that can transfer light without distortion. Optical crystal is visually flawless, brilliant, without color and is lead-free.

Colored Crystal for Crystal Awards
Crystal D uses colored crystal to add excitement and vitality to already innovative awards. The quality of the crystal used in these awards is comparable to optical crystal. Colors available include: blue, black, green and pink.

Cultured Stone for Corporate Awards
Cultured stone is a flexible substrate used to create many custom awards. Cultured stone has the look and feel of marble or stone but is easy to mold and imprint. Choose Cultured stone to make an unbelievable impact on the recipient!

Verde (Green) Marble Award Plaques
Verde marble is quite unique and stunningly beautiful. Each piece of marble highlights rich, green color with white and greenish-white veining accents. The variability in veining gives each individual Verde Award a look and feel that is all its own.

Corporate Award Plaques
Choose from traditional wood, trendy piano-finish or colorful sublimated wall plaques! Wood and laminate, combined with several finishing techniques, provide endless design options to fit any corporate recognition occasion.

Jade Crystal for Corporate Awards
The iron ore content of silica sand gives jade crystal a green tint. The color deepens as the crystal becomes thicker, culminating in a gorgeous emerald green. Maximum thickness is 3/4".

Lead Crystal for Crystal Awards
The term "full lead crystal" indicates a 24% lead content. However, the very finest quality crystal may have a 36% - 70% lead content. The clarity, brilliance and weight of crystal increases as the quantity of lead increases.
