"Kristallen den fina" (English: "The fine crystal"^[1][2]) is a traditional Swedish folk song.^[3] According to some sources, it originated in the village of Skattungbyn in the province of Dalarna.^[4] In 1843, Richard Dybeck published in Runa [sv] his version of the song recorded in Skattungbyn.^[5][6]

Many arrangements of the song have been written for various choral groups. One of its early arrangements for men's voices was composed by Otto Frederik Tullberg in 1840.^[7] The language of "Kristallen den fina" relies on a poetic structure, using the older, traditional language rather than contemporary Swedish.^[8] Thematically, the song reflects a sense of longing and romance between a couple.^[9]
