Polished Milky Quartz Sphere

Story

Ancient Greeks once looked at stones like this and believed they were 'krystallos'—ice that had frozen so intensely in the high mountains that it could never again thaw.

Maker / Origin

While the stone is a product of geological forces, the 'maker' here is a lapidary artist who used diamond-tipped saws and rotating polishing laps to achieve this spherical geometry.

Condition & Value

The surface appears to have a high-luster polish with no significant external chips or 'bruises' visible. The internal fractures are natural characteristics of the stone's growth and do not represent damage. The wooden tripod stand is a standard contemporary accessory.
