AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Wonderful pair of onyx Egg-shape and cube calcite crystal cluster on custom stand.
Onyx is a type of chalcedony, which is itself a form of microcrystalline quartz. Onyxes have straight, nearly parallel bands or layers of color, which allow skilled gem carvers to cut away material to create cameos and intaglios with extraordinary depth and contrast.
Onyx typically has a black base with white or colored bands. The colored bands can range from shades of brown, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.
A calcite cube refers to a naturally formed or artificially shaped crystal of calcite that exhibits a cubic form. Calcite typically crystallizes in the trigonal crystal system, forming rhombohedral or scalenohedral crystals. However, under certain conditions, calcite can form cubic crystals. These cubic crystals are relatively rare compared to other forms of calcite. Calcite cubes are characterized by their geometric shape, resembling a cube with six square faces. The edges and corners of the cube are often well-defined, creating a symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing crystal. The formation of calcite cubes can be influenced by factors such as temperature, pressure, and chemical composition of the surrounding environment. Cubic calcite crystals are typically found in areas where there is enough space for crystal growth without interference from other minerals.
Calcite cubes are fascinating examples of the diversity of crystal forms that minerals can take, showcasing the natural beauty and symmetry inherent in crystalline structures.

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.
