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 matched pair of Quartz with black Tourmaline in a superb round design. The lustrous black needles contrast wonderfully with the starkly colorless Quartz. The pair feature identical designs that are able to play off the subtle differences in needles in each stone.
Pairs are not common among Munsteiner works, and as we often say, these stones represent a great opportunity for collectors and those looking for investment pieces - unmounted Munsteiner stones themselves are not readily available in the market and, once set, these take a significant jump in price.
