A truly fascinating and unusual Munsteiner piece. In contrast to simply showcasing color along with the studio design, these Quartz inclusion pieces also play off natural inclusions in the gem material. Here, a full display of reflective, metallic Rutile needles rise through the piece, angles echoed in the carving. The added element of a little smoky bodycolor sets the gold needles off even further. Large and bold Munsteiner piece, particularly for the cost. With complete certificate from Atelier Munsteiner.
