About the Item
This natural rock crystal sphere containing expected color changes and inclusions is a gem from nature. The sphere is 9 inches in diameter and runs from clear to crazed inclusions throughout. The stand is cast in bronze to a classical ideal then engraved and patinated then polished to leave color and depth down in the design of swans, paw feet, acanthus leaves, beading, chains, and cartouches. Rock crystal has been a gem of fascination for humanity for thousands of years. Fashioned into swords in ancient china, used as jewelry by the Romans and to make small statutes by the Egyptians, the material in the Renaissance was a must-have carved into urns and fanciful objects by princes of note and collected by kings up until today.
