Crucible has its origin in Latin and is taken from the word crucibulum. It is spelt as kroo-si-b'l. Crucible is another name for a vessel. But this vessel is a container which is made use of in laboratories or for scientific purposes. In this vessel metals and many other substances can be melted. Thus this crucible is made of strong material which is resistant to very high temperatures and thus it doesn't melt easily. There are also glass crucibles. Generally crucible made of porcelain is used. In chemical language it is also called evaporating dish.
Crucible describes a situation that is very difficult and cannot be dealt with. But such a situation often produces something new or good for all the concerned people and things. For example: New York and Los Angeles have arguably replaced Paris as the crucible of new artistic culture.
