Description
A warm and characterful feldspar sphere that attracts immediate attention - this 684-gram heavy mineral sphere displays beautiful apricot and salmon tones, formed by fine-grained orthoclase and plagioclase structures. An irresistible Wunderkammer piece for collectors who love natural elegance.
The sphere shows a mix of shiny crystal surfaces, subtle fracture lines and the typical granitoid texture of feldspar rock. Under light, the warm glow of the mineral emerges particularly beautifully.
Origin & meaning
Bought at De Zwaan auction house, from Lot 460 of the Christie's South Kensington auction Style & Spirit (25 September 2007). This provenance from a carefully curated interior collection gives the piece extra collector's value. Feldspar spheres were widely used in interior decoration in the early 20th century due to their warm appearance.
