Crystal Sculpture

Crystal sculpture is an art medium that offers their own distinct characteristics. Because they come in a variety of textures, materials, and shades, crystal can be molded into a decorative or sculptural form. A crystal's surface geometry reflects its internal geometry, which is why all crystals are completely clear. They appear translucent because the molecules' spacing allows the visible light to pass through. However, some of the crystals tend to have a tint to them. This unique art medium holds several spiritual connotations as well. It is believed to possess healing powers that can realign and protect our chakras. Although introduced in Europe during the Roman Empire, clear crystal was rediscovered in the early 16th century in Venice. Later, artists and designers began to fashion crystals into vessels, stemware, and mirrors. After the emergence of a few specialist studios, like René Lalique, crystals were frequently used as a decorative item during the Art Nouveau era.
