AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This sculpture takes the form of a parrot with an Indian collar. Its body is finely carved in rock crystal, a pure and crystalline stone with delicate reflections. Each feather is precisely engraved, giving a sense of lightness and realism, as if the bird is ready to take flight.
The beak and tail, crafted in intense red quartz, create a refined chromatic contrast, highlighting the sculpture's natural harmony. The base is an amethyst druse, a natural formation of deep purple crystals. Its rough texture and mineral veins contrast with the smoothness of the quartz, creating a perfect balance between strength and delicacy. Amethyst, a stone of intuition and protection, adds an energetic and spiritual value to the composition.
A piece of Brazilian craftsmanship, the perfect fusion of the animal kingdom and the mineral world for collectors, mineralogy enthusiasts, and lovers of refinement.
