Dimensions in cm: Height 8 x Width 29 x Depth 29 Dimensions in inches: Height 3.1 x Width 11.4 x Depth 11.4 Pietra dura is a term for the inlay technique of using cut and fitted, highly polished coloured stones to create images. It is considered a decorative art. Pietre dure is an Italian plural meaning "hard rocks" or hardstones; the singular pietra dura is also encountered in Italian. In Italian, but not in English, the term embraces all gem engraving and hardstone carving, which is the artistic carving of three-dimensional objects in semi-precious stone, normally from a single piece, for example in Chinese jade. The traditional convention in English has been to use the singular pietra dura just to denote multi-colored inlay work. However, in recent years there has been a trend to use pietre dure as a term for the same thing, but not for all of the techniques it covers, in Italian.

Sold Bonhams Oxford, Bonhams Oxford, June 2007, £1,150. June 2007, £300. Jewellery Series Part I. Cameos by Zita Thornton Souvenirs bought by tourists visiting Rome, most likely on one of the new ‘Cook’s Tours’ in the nineteenth century, inspired the Victorian fashion for cameo jewellery. Following in the footsteps of earlier aristocratic travellers doing the ‘Grand Tour’, the new wealthy middle classes sought cultural enrichment by visiting the ancient sites in Rome and Pompeii. These tourists were not quite wealthy enough to commission a Neo-Classical sculpture or bust so craftsmen satisfied their appetite for classical art by reviving the ancient tradition widely used in Rome and Greece of carving cameos. Ancient cameos were, and still are, highly prized. Their ancient images portrayed important social customs, events and figures. Wearing a cameo was a means of showing loyalty and they were worn by men as well as women. In 2004 Sotheby’s sold an important Roman cameo, from the first or second century for £78,000. The form of a horse had been carved in sardonyx and set in a Murghal jade button in the seventeenth century. The Murghals greatly appreciated cameos. They were presented to princes and emperors. Their popularity only lessened with the decline of the Murghal court itself.

    MICRONISING MINERALS THAT SUITS YOUR PRODUCT Inspiring quality & performance for satisfying our customer needs is the #1 and only aim of our management team. Quartz: Quartz is a chemical compound consisting of one part silicon and two parts oxygen. It is the most abundant mineral found at Earth's surface and its unique properties make it one of the most useful natural substances. Quartz is the second most common mineral in the Earth's continental crust. It is made up of a lattice of silica (SiO2) tetrahedra. Its usefulness can be linked to its physical and chemical properties. It is chemically inert in contact with most substances. It has electrical properties and heat resistance that make it valuable in electronic products. Its luster, color and diaphaneity make it useful as a gemstone and also in the making of glass. This makes it a very essential mineral in our daily life. Quartz is used by industry because of its piezoelectric qualities and its amplification properties. It is this specific quality that makes these stones very powerful for metaphysical purposes, and creates strong healing attributes within the stones. Pure quartz, traditionally called rock crystal or clear quartz, is colorless and transparent or translucent, and has often been used for hardstone carvings, such as the Lothair Crystal. Common colored varieties include citrine, rose quartz, amethyst, smoky quartz, milky quartz, and others. Many of the stones made from quartz have powerful healing qualities. Their attributes are quite diverse and many have potent vibrations. Quartz Applications: 1. Glass Making: High purity silica sand (Quartz sand) is used in the glassmaking industry.

Chrome-bearing fuchsite (a variety of muscovite mica) is the classic inclusion, and gives a silvery green or blue sheen. Oranges and browns are attributed to hematite or goethite. Quartz is the second most abundant mineral in the Earth‘s continental crust, after feldspar. Its crystal structure is a continuous framework of SiO4 silicon–oxygen tetrahedra, with each oxygen being shared between two tetrahedra, giving an overall chemical formula of SiO2.wiki Pure quartz, traditionally called rock crystal or clear quartz, is colorless and transparent or translucent, and has often been used for hardstone carvings, such as the Lothair Crystal. Common colored varieties include citrine, rose quartz, amethyst, smoky quartz, milky quartz, and others.

  • Ancient Egyptian Quarries – an Illustrated Overview
    GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF NORWAY SPECIAL PUBLICATION n 12 Ancient Egyptian quarries – an illustrated overview James A. Harrell1 and Per Storemyr2 1Department of Environmental Sciences (MS #604), 2801 West Bancroft Street, The University of Toledo, Toledo, Ohio 43606–3390, USA. 2Geological Survey of Norway, 7491 Trondheim, Norway/CSC Conservation Science Consulting, CH-1700 Fribourg, Switzerland. Present address: Herrligstrasse 15, CH-8048 Zurich, Switzerland. E-mail: [email protected] and [email protected] The surviving remains of ancient Egyptian material culture are dominated by the stones used for building, ornamental, gem, and utilitarian applications. These came mainly from the Nile Valley and Eastern Desert (with some also from the Western Desert), where over 200 quarries have been dis- covered spanning about 3500 years from the Late Predynastic Period to the Late Roman Period. The harder stones (nearly all the igneous and metamorphic rocks plus silicified sandstone and chert) were quarried using stone tools aided by fire setting and wood levers up until the Late Period, when the stone tools were replaced by iron ones. The softer stones (mainly limestone, sandstone, and travertine) were extracted with copper and, later, bronze picks and chisels during the Dynastic Peri- od, with iron tools again replacing the earlier ones by the end of the Late Period. Until the advent of suitable roadways and wagons rugged enough to transport them in the Greco–Roman Period, the larger pieces of quarried stone were carried on sledges, often along prepared roads, and probably pulled by teams of men to the building sites or to the Nile River for shipping.
