Pebbles.

Lenses for the eye are made of rock
crystal Commonly called pebbles) or
crown glass. Lenses made from rock
crystal are harder and therefore less
liable to scratch. Pebbles unless cut
accurately are apt to refract unequally
They also absorb more heat. So that
lenses made from good crown glass are
equal to the best pebbles, are cheaper
and universally used. 1 shall be pleased
