Le cristal de roche, capable de décomposer la lumière dans toutes les nuances de l'arc- en-ciel, est l’objet d’une grande fascination à travers les âges. Il servit ainsi à la réalisation de nombres d’objets précieux de l’antiquité à nos jours. Beaucoup de célébrités en disposaient dans leurs décors tels Yves Saint-Laurent qui en avait disposé un ensemble dans l’ouverture d’une cheminée en manière de décoration spectaculaire. Superbe sélection de blocs de cristal de roche d’une grande pureté.
Condition
Excellent état, quelques petits fêles naturels lors du dégagement de la pièce des grottes.
Excellent conditon. Few small natural cracks during excavation in the caves.
