All auctions / Ancient Art / Polychrome Jasper Obelisk Set – two monumental...


This exceptional obelisk-duo made of polychrome jasper combines soft blue and gray tones with warm red, orange, beige, and earthy hues. The two carefully cut obelisks reveal on their different sides new natural color gradations and fascinating patterns, giving each piece its own character. Particularly appealing are the contrasting red and orange jasper areas, which stand out clearly from the cool blue-gray base tones. Subtle transitions, cloud-like structures and natural line drawings give the stones a nearly landscape-like effect. Through precise cutting, clear facets are created that let the light wander across the polished surfaces and highlight the different color zones especially nicely.. Stone: Polychrome Jasper Total weight: 2330.11g Origin: Madagascar Our shipping costs are checked and acknowledged by Catawiki. We have an external shipping company that handles the final inspection, pickup, packing and the shipping; thereby these shipping costs arise. The buyer bears all potential import and export costs, customs charges, shipping costs, etc.. See also our other items and shipping costs, save on pickup costs.. In some of the pictures the stone was backlit in order to show you the color of the stone. For some stones we have held lighting under the stone to better show the color of the pieces. And it can lead to color deviations etc., since every computer, monitor and phone can display different color qualities.
