Not unbreakable. But highly break resistant.
Crystal is glass plus a metal. The most widely known is lead crystal. The
Schott-Zwiesel stemware is titanium zirconium crystal. Much more break
resistant than lead crystal but still breakable. Other crystals contain
magnesium, etc.
We bought a set of a very similar glasses made from a crystal called Kwarx. It
was high touted for its break resistant properties.

Took us 2 weeks to break one.
