Double-Terminated Rock Crystal with Exceptional Clarity Geometric Form - Polished Facets - Height: 220 mm - Width: 100 mm- 1240 g - (1)

Extra Clear Channeler Quartz from Brazil on Stand — Presented on an elegant custom base, this specimen is an imposing rock crystal Quartz (silicon dioxide) from Brazil. The mineral was selected for its remarkable purity and subsequently worked to obtain a bi-terminal sculptural form, highlighting its transparency and monumental presence. The object stands out for its generous dimensions and dramatic presence, marrying the raw beauty of the natural material with a refined geometric design. Close inspection reveals a slender, balanced shape, finished with pointed terminations at both ends. The surface has been expertly faceted and polished into flat planes, acting as windows into the crystal’s interior. This treatment not only gives the piece a modern geometry but also amplifies its optical quality. Light, passing through the quartz, creates a complex play of reflections, refractions, and iridescent glimmers. Inside, natural inclusions, veils, and internal fractures are visible, bearing witness to the crystal’s geological history and adding depth and unique character to the piece. Quartz Crystal (Quartzite) is the purest variety of quartz (silicon dioxide) and forms in a wide range of geological settings, mainly within hydrothermal veins and pegmatites, where it grows slowly from silica-rich solutions. Large, highly transparent specimens like the one here are particularly sought after. The processing this crystal has undergone does not diminish its natural value; instead, it transforms it into a work of art, where the artisan’s skill has interpreted and enhanced the mineral’s intrinsic features. This crystal stands as a true mineral sculpture. The minimal support, consisting of a black wooden base and a steel rod, is designed to “suspend” the quartz in space, giving it the aura of a gallery piece. Its essential, luminous aesthetics make it a striking decorative element, perfect for enriching contemporary interiors, professional studios, libraries, or becoming the focal point of a modern Wunderkammer (cabinet of curiosities). In summary, this lot offers a Quartz Crystal of notable size and quality. It is a piece that captivates both the mineral collector, for the material’s purity, and the design enthusiast, for its elegant form and its ability to dialogue with light and space. A physical and visual presence that captures the crystalline essence of the Earth, transformed into a sophisticated display object.
