{"product_id":"clear-quartz-polished-obelisk-5-35kg-17-5","title":"Clear Quartz Obelisk — Polished 17.5 in Brazilian Tower, 5.35 kg","description":"\u003cp\u003eAt 17.5 inches and 5.35 kilograms, this is not a shelf crystal. It is a piece of Brazilian clear quartz cut and polished into a four-sided obelisk, and it needs floor space, a plinth or a wide mantel — somewhere it can be seen from across a room rather than picked up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClear quartz at this size is rarely uniform, and that is where the interest lies: veils, fractures and internal planes catch the light differently as you walk past, so the piece reads as almost colourless from one angle and clouded with silver from another. Polished on all four faces, it comes from Brazil, the source most large quartz towers still trace back to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#2c3a37;font-size:1.35em;margin:1.6em 0 .5em;\"\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClear quartz, polished obelisk cut\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4\" x 3.5\" x 17.5\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5.35 kg\u003c\/strong\u003e — substantial enough to need a considered spot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrom Brazil\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShips within 3 business days\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#2c3a37;font-size:1.35em;margin:1.6em 0 .5em;\"\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGive it height and give it light. An obelisk this size loses most of what makes it interesting if it sits below eye level in a dim corner — on a plinth, a mantel or a low shelf near a window, the internal structure comes alive and the piece changes through the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is heavy, so think about the surface underneath before you set it down. A solid shelf, not a floating one. If you are placing it on wood, a small felt pad under the base prevents the polished edge from marking the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#2c3a37;font-size:1.35em;margin:1.6em 0 .5em;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:1.2em 0;font-size:.96em;\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:.6em .7em;background:#f2efe9;color:#2c3a37;border-bottom:2px solid #c9a96e;\"\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:.6em .7em;background:#f2efe9;color:#2c3a37;border-bottom:2px solid #c9a96e;\"\u003eThis piece\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:.6em .7em;border-bottom:1px solid #e3ded4;vertical-align:top;\"\u003eStone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:.6em .7em;border-bottom:1px solid #e3ded4;vertical-align:top;\"\u003eClear quartz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:.6em .7em;border-bottom:1px solid #e3ded4;vertical-align:top;\"\u003eCut\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:.6em .7em;border-bottom:1px solid #e3ded4;vertical-align:top;\"\u003ePolished obelisk, four-sided\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:.6em .7em;border-bottom:1px solid #e3ded4;vertical-align:top;\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:.6em .7em;border-bottom:1px solid #e3ded4;vertical-align:top;\"\u003e4\" x 3.5\" x 17.5\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:.6em .7em;border-bottom:1px solid #e3ded4;vertical-align:top;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:.6em .7em;border-bottom:1px solid #e3ded4;vertical-align:top;\"\u003e5.35 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:.6em .7em;border-bottom:1px solid #e3ded4;vertical-align:top;\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:.6em .7em;border-bottom:1px solid #e3ded4;vertical-align:top;\"\u003eBrazil\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:.6em .7em;border-bottom:1px solid #e3ded4;vertical-align:top;\"\u003eListing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:.6em .7em;border-bottom:1px solid #e3ded4;vertical-align:top;\"\u003eThe specific piece pictured\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:linear-gradient(135deg,#000D0B,#40514E);color:#e8e4dc;padding:1.4em 1.5em;border-radius:10px;margin:1.8em 0;line-height:1.65;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color:#c9a96e;margin:0 0 .5em;font-size:1.1em;\"\u003e✨ Temple Tip\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;\"\u003eLight it from below rather than above.
