Description from the seller

Wonderful pair of green smithsonite spheres on custom stands.

Green Smithsonite, also known as green zinc spar, is a mineral that belongs to the carbonate mineral group. It is a secondary mineral that forms as a result of the weathering and oxidation of primary zinc ore deposits. Smithsonite typically occurs in a variety of colors, including green, blue, pink, yellow, and brown. The green color in smithsonite is often attributed to the presence of traces of copper. It is a relatively soft mineral, with a hardness of 4 to 4.5 on the Mohs scale, making it susceptible to scratching.

Seller's Story

For over a decade, we have travelled across Indonesia to curate unique interior pieces that reflect the country’s rich craftsmanship and cultural heritage. What began as annual trips to Indonesia, a family history descendant of Dutch Indies, and a passion for handmade objects has grown into the rich collection of design objects we offer today with pride. We specialise in sourcing authentic, artisanal pieces directly from small family-owned ateliers throughout Java, Bali, Sumatra and beyond. Our collection ranges from hand-carved décor and bronze sculptures to natural-material homeware. Each item is carefully selected for its craftsmanship, character, and story. We have over 10 years of experience working closely with Indonesian artisans. Because of this, our expertise lies in identifying high-quality workmanship, natural materials, and unique pieces that stand out. Every lot we list on Catawiki is personally inspected by us and supports the local communities and traditional techniques we deeply believe in.
