Unknown Artist • Green Fluorite Glacier Sculpture
$9,250
A rare and unique monumental <strong>hand-carved green fluorite sculpture</strong> depicting a glacier scene with polar bears, carved from a single boulder weighing approximately 250–300 pounds. The piece combines both polished and raw crystal surfaces, showcasing the natural translucency and color zoning typical of fluorite deposits from China or Mexico. The subject and composition suggest it was likely produced in the late 20th century for the luxury decorative art market, where large-scale gemstone carvings depicting naturalistic scenes became popular. The craftsmanship demonstrates advanced lapidary skill, particularly in maintaining anatomical definition while working within a brittle mineral matrix. Large fluorite carvings of this complexity and scale are uncommon. While material value alone (based on raw fluorite weight) would already exceed 2,000 USD, the added artistic carving elevates its market range significantly. Comparable examples of similar size and quality typically sell between 8,000 and 12,000 USD at auction.
