Description from the seller
Miniature nativity scene in agate and quartz geode
– Golden metal figures
A tiny precious world enclosed in stone: this evocative miniature nativity scene combines the charm of minerals with the delicacy of the Christmas tradition.
The Nativity is housed in the hollow of a small geode, visually recalling agate with quartz crystallizations. The rim reveals elegant concentric bands in shades of white, cream, honey, and brown, while the tiny inner crystals create a scenographic natural frame.
Inside fit the small metal figures of the Holy Family, accompanied by a star placed at the top. The golden reflections of the figures dialogue with the transparency of the stone, transforming the mineral cavity into a bright, evocative grotto of the Nativity.
Agate is a variety of chalcedony, belonging to the quartz family, recognizable by its characteristic banded structure. The geode indicates the hollow formation that houses the crystals inside: a small natural architecture used here as the setting for the nativity scene.
Approximate dimensions:
* Width: 6 cm
* Height: 3 cm
* Depth: 4.5 cm
Materials: compatible stone, with agate and quartz; figures and star in metal of golden color. The possible presence of gold in the figures cannot be certified: the item is therefore offered without attribution of title or value to the precious metal. Geographic provenance of the mineral and time of creation are not documented.
A refined collectible miniature, ideal for nativity enthusiasts, mineralogical curiosities, and small decorative objects with a strong evocative character.
Carefully packaged and trackable shipping within Europe.
