Description from the seller
This extraordinary dagger has been carved from a single crystal of transparent natural quartz, within which thin inclusions of black tourmaline are perfectly visible. The prismatic structures of the tourmaline seem to float within the blade, creating a fascinating contrast between transparency and opacity, between light and shadow.
An example of the perfect fusion between the natural world (Naturalia) and human craftsmanship (Artificialia), this object represents a true mirabilia: a collectible piece that would have found a place in a Renaissance cabinet of curiosities.
A one-of-a-kind dagger, ideal for eclectic collectors, enthusiasts of esotericism, visionary art, and cosmic objects. Perfect also as a power talisman or as a centerpiece in a private collection of extraordinary items.
An eclectic, precious, and unrepeatable object. Perfect for collectors seeking the rare, the non-replicable, and what tells a story without words. Ideal as the centerpiece of an exclusive collection, or displayed in modern settings, or as a symbolic gift.
