Ruler Selenite with an 18th Century Italian Fragment & Baroque Pearls on Lucite

This mineral is characterized by a silky, pearly luster called satin spar.
The piece is put together by Jean O'Reilly Barlow, the artist and creative director of Interi. The date of manufacture reflects when she created the piece but the Italian fragment is originally 18th century.
