AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A beautiful pair of spheres made of Onyx on custom stands.
Onyx is a type of gemstone that belongs to the crypto crystalline form of quartz. It typically forms in the cavities of igneous rocks, especially volcanic lava flows, where silica-rich fluids deposit layers of quartz over time. This process creates the characteristic banded appearance that onyx is known for, with alternating bands of different colors. While black and white banded onyx is the most common, it can also occur in shades of brown, red, green, or other colors.
Onyx is characterized by its fine texture and glossy, polished surface. It has a smooth feel and often exhibits a high level of translucency when properly cut and polished. The bands in onyx can vary in thickness and arrangement, ranging from straight and uniform to irregular and wavy, depending on the specific conditions of formation.

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.
