AM2245 ROCK DROP LIGHT

The light installation is a chandelier with deliciously unique lights that celebrate the fascinating nature of the rock, where no rock is the same as the next.  When you see a light sculpture designed to increase the visual appeal of a room and define its luminous character, you stop on your way to admire it. The word "crystal" comes from Ancient Greek, meaning ice, which is, similar to real crystal, characterized by purity, clarity, and coolness. Greeks were always surprised when ordinary water turned into "rock". But they soon discovered that something resembling ice can be found deep in the mountains – they found colorless, pure, transparent, and cold mono-crystals of silicon dioxide. The Greek word for ice was quickly transferred to this sought-after material, and since then these colorless silica mono-crystals are known as  rock crystal or quartz. However, people were fascinated by rock crystals even before the Greek civilization; it can be said that it is an important part of human history. It is astonishing how quickly ancient civilizations learned to cut rock crystal using sand, a material of equal hardness. Rock crystal was used to make jewelry, luxury items for the upper classes, and magic-related items. This led to the perception of crystal as something noble and mysterious.
