The tawny crystal is one of the crystal stones, which is named for its tea-like color. Similar to the tawny crystal, there are also dark crystals. Their color depth is different, which is caused by the different content of organic carbon. The organic carbon content is small, which means it will appear brown, and the content is large, which means it will appear black. The color of tea crystal and ink crystal will decrease in case of high heat. Jimo, Shandong Province, China, is a famous producer of tea crystals and ink crystals, but its output is not large. It is also produced in Inner Mongolia and Gansu.
