atural clear quartz pair of obelisks — This pair of obelisks is made entirely of natural clear quartz, with a height of 33 cm each. These obelisks are distinguished by their internal crystalline structure rich in natural fractures and milky veils, which confer depth and an authentic character to every side of the surface. Quartz, composed of silicon dioxide (SiO₂), is among the longest-lasting and most widespread minerals in the Earth's crust. Over geological eras, slow crystallization trapped micro-inclusions and internal stresses that today create the evocative reflections visible inside the stone. These details, impossible to replicate artificially, make each obelisk a unique and unrepeatable piece. The slim, geometric shape, with a pyramidal apex, recalls the great obelisks of ancient Egypt, symbols of solar power 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 classical spaces, but also a tangible testament to the power of nature and the geological processes that formed the mineral. With their luminous transparency and the play of light that changes with illumination, these obelisks stand as focal points in mineral collections, cabinets of curiosities, or high-end living spaces. Main features: Material: Natural clear quartz (rock crystal) Shape: Obelisk with square base and pyramidal apex Height: 34.5 cm each Craft: hand-carved and hand-polished
