A tribute to Timothy Oulton’s passion for pure and authentic materials, this 1.7 tonne glowing rock crystal, displayed in our Bluebird flagship, was sourced from Brazil and is millions of years old. Almost supernatural in appearance, rock crystal is the purest and rarest form of quartz. Revered by many ancient cultures, it was believed to be the breath of white dragon by the Japanese, a representation of perfection, while Australian Aborigines believed it was frozen rain, a source of life. Rock crystal has the unique ability to generate its own electrical charge when pressed or squeezed – the piezoelectric effect. In this way it can be said to embody energy. You'll find rock crystal across our lighting and mirror collection including the Elysium range and Rock Crystal Rain pendant. #rockcrystal #crystal #ancientmaterials #naturalmaterials #rocksandcrystals #quartz #rare #luxuryinteriors #luxurymaterials #storiedinteriors
