Description
Orpiment Sphere
Stone Source: Russia
The mineral Orpiment, used to carve this unique piece, is known for its lovely yellow coloration. This medium-sized sphere features a dichotomy between the yellow and green hemispheres. Orpiment does contain arsenic, so it is recommended that hands be washed after handling. This material is also photosensitive so should be displayed in a darker room. Despite the interesting attributes of this material that needs to be considered, this is nonetheless an amazing decorative piece with a fascinating story behind it.
Overall Measurements: 4.75 inches (12.06 cm) in diameter
Provenance: Central Coast CollectionÂ
[Scale: 1 inch, with mark at 1 cm]
