AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This pair of obelisks is crafted entirely from natural clear quartz, each measuring 33 cm tall. These obelisks are distinguished by their internal crystalline structure, rich in natural fractures and milky glazes, which lend depth and authenticity to each side of the surface. Quartz, composed of silicon dioxide (SiO₂), is among the most long-lived and widespread minerals in the Earth's crust. Over the course of geological ages, slow crystallization has trapped micro-inclusions and internal stresses that today create the evocative reflections visible within the stone. These details, impossible to replicate artificially, make each obelisk a unique and unrepeatable piece. The slender, geometric shape, with a pyramidal apex, recalls the great obelisks of ancient Egypt, symbols of solar strength and stability. In ancient art, quartz was often considered a stone of spiritual connection, used for rituals, talismans, and sacred objects. Today, this pair of quartz obelisks represents not only a refined decorative object for modern or classic spaces, but also a tangible testimony to the power of nature and the geological processes that shaped the mineral. With their luminous transparency and the play of light that changes with the lighting, these obelisks serve as focal points in mineralogical collections, cabinets of curiosities, or fine furnishings.
