Collection of Hand-Carved Crystal and Gemstone Pieces Shaped into Butterfly or Angel Wings - 11 Pieces




Item Description


A curated collection of eleven hand-carved crystal and gemstone pieces, each meticulously shaped into butterfly or angel wing forms. This collection showcases exceptional lapidary craftsmanship and features a diverse range of natural stone materials in varying colours and finishes.




Collection Composition


Green Wings: Ruby in zoisite (top left pair) - featuring natural green matrix with deep red ruby inclusions, displaying characteristic veining and mineral striations across both wings.




Purple/Magenta Wings: Hand-carved ruby or lepidolite/tourmaline mix (right side pairs and lower middle) - six pieces in rich purple and magenta tones with natural colour variation and textured surfaces showing the crystalline structure of the raw material.




Multicolour Fan/Wing: Rainbow fluorite (middle left and lower middle) - featuring translucent to semi-translucent quality with purple, green, and clear colour banding characteristic of fluorite specimens.




Textured/Banded Stones: Labradorite (bottom left) and banded black-and-white agate or zebra jasper (bottom right) - displaying natural striations, banding patterns, and the distinctive play of light typical of labradorite's labradorescence.




Material Characteristics


Each piece exhibits natural variations in colour saturation, translucency, and surface texture. The hand-carved wings feature radiating ridge patterns that enhance light reflection and create dimensional visual interest. Materials range from opaque to semi-translucent, with natural inclusions and colour zoning visible throughout.




Condition


All pieces are intact with no visible chips or fractures. Surfaces show the natural polish typical of hand-carved gemstone work. Minor surface variations and natural colour inconsistencies are inherent to the materials and add to their authenticity.




Dimensions


Pieces vary in size, ranging approximately 40-80mm in width. Each wing form is symmetrical and balanced.




Display and Use


These pieces are suitable for display in natural light to showcase the translucency and colour characteristics of the materials. Ideal for collectors of natural gemstones, lapidary art, or decorative mineral specimens. Each piece functions as both a sculptural object and a natural history specimen.
