Thanks RhysMichael, the picture remind me something. There 's believes that some crystal have protective spiritual power. I know that rutile quartz 's believed to be a protective one. And according to LanNa 's believe, there are more stones (upto 24) were listed. But I do not know about their spiritual properties. Moreover, beside the above picture, I 've never saw stone on Siamese weapon. Most of them are on ornaments.

Are you sure that the crystal 's not a big ruby crystal?

Speaking of imbedded stones, here is an example in the hilt of a high end Thai darb that I think is from the Ayutthaya or early Rattanikosin period. The stone appears to be onyx. The silver work on the hilt and scabbard is first class.

Its a clear purple so I assumed it was amethyst but I could be wrong

Ian that one of yours is a great example of a stone in the pommel.
