It is no coincidence that one of the most amazing minerals was named hairy or "Hair of Venus". Strands of long hair appear to be embedded in a transparent crystal. According to legend, the crystal was created by the goddess of love and beauty herself.
Once, while bathing, Venus did not notice that she had lost her golden strand. The goddess discovered the disappearance in winter, when the reservoir was frozen in ice. The gold in it looked so impressive that the celestial woman turned it into stone, giving the creation to people. In the East, the gem is called the beard of Mohammed, and in Europe it is called the arrows of Cupid.
