The shape, the transparency, the perfection, the brightmess, the purity... There are many reasons to be astonished looking at our loved crystals! The more evident, however, which is able to stun even the sensitivity of the novice, is no doubt the color! From the supernatural green of the Dioptase to the electric blue of the Cavansite, from the ruby red of the Spessartine to the bright orange of the Wulfenite, from the pure smoky tonality of the Alpine Quartz to the marvelous polychromies of many Tourmalines and Titanites. Color is the essence of the crystals, the absolute evidence of the wonder and beauty of Mother Nature (where the only, unimportant gray often arises from her arid beholders...)
