If you are a site regular, then you know that we are a fan of the works of acclaimed gem artist Tom Munsteiner. The stones that come out of his Idar-Oberstein workshop are sculptural works of gem art that highlight, but do not overshadow the materials that he works in. Here we have an exceptional piece of ‘Tourmalinated’ Quartz, with a few Rutile crystals thrown in for good measure. A huge piece, the sharp angularity of the design and inclusions is softened by the soft round outline and low dome rise of the stone. A very dramatic piece given the design and size.
A great looking stone and one that comes with a full, signed certificate from Atelier Munsteiner. As we often say, these stones represent a great opportunity for collectors and those looking for investment pieces - unmounted Munsteiner stones are not readily available in the market and, once set, these take a significant jump in price.
