18th Century Italian Sunray with Tangerine Crystal Quartz on Angle-Plated Quartz

About the Item

18th century Italian sunray adorned with tangerine crystal quartz points on an angle plated quartz. Angle-plated quartz is an extremely rare form of quartz and is only found in the upstate region of South Carolina and southern North Carolina. The silica is precipitated into cracks which are then filled with microcrystalline quartz and the “plates” are often encrusted with druzy quartz. The sunray is from a historical church in Italy. Together the natural elements and Italian artifact create a contemporary work of organic and old.
