All auctions / Ethnographic / Extremely rare anhydrite–prasiolite–pink amethyst on blue...
This outstanding piece is a true wonder of nature—a composition that is hard to find even in the most exclusive collections. The exceptional combination of anhydrite, prasiolite, pink amethyst, blue agate and quartz makes this 9.2 kg heavy artwork one of the rarest specimens of its kind. The impressive, towering silhouette almost appears as an abstract sculpture created by nature itself. Fine, needle-like structures of anhydrite run through the piece like frozen beams of light, while delicate prasiolite formations in soft green provide organic accents. Between them unfolds the rare pink amethyst—in warm, pastel pink tones that lend the piece an almost poetic elegance. The underlying blue agate, threaded with crystal-clear quartz, forms the harmonious base of this complex formation. It gives the object depth and a fascinating color contrast that showcases the extraordinary minerals to best effect. Presented on a minimalist black metal stand, this one-of-a-kind piece resembles an art object from a modern gallery—powerful, mystical and at the same time elegant. Each viewing angle reveals new structures, colors and details that make the piece a truly unique experience. This mineral spectacle is ideal for discerning collectors, design lovers and all who are seeking a statement piece that effortlessly crosses the boundaries between natural art and modern aesthetics. An absolute one-off—spectacular, rare and full of natural magic.
