The Japanese believed it was the breath of white dragons; to the Australian Aborigines it was the crucial element in rituals designed to bring rain; and the Ancient Greeks believed it was the frozen tears of gods, calling it krustallos, meaning clear ice. All these peoples, separated by time and geography, were referring to the beauty of crystal, or more accurately, quartz.

This week’s New Arrival features two pairs of crystal lamps – one pair utilizing clear, polished quartz as the basis for sophisticated table lamps; the other pair utilizing raw quartz in its natural form to create two imaginative, seductive wall sconces. Many past civilizations considered crystal a gift from nature, a form of tangible light. This week’s New Arrival confirms that view.
