Quartz Point, Light Through a Pale Landscape
This quartz point draws the eye along straight sides towards angled faces that meet at a pointed tip. Mostly colourless, it is softened by cloudy white areas, with light passing through some portions of the piece. Reflective highlights catch on its flat faces, offering a lovely contrast between surface brightness and the softer cloudiness beyond.
Look closer and fine lines appear alongside irregular pale markings, giving the faces a character of their own. In a small imagined landscape, they could be slender paths crossing patches of mist. The outline is crisp, while the view through the quartz is less certain—a pleasing tension between definition and softness. Near the tip, grey shading adds a darker note where the angled faces converge.
