INFORMATION
Classic Crystal : Origins and Characteristics
Appearance and variations :
Classic crystal is distinguished by its natural transparency and unique ability to capture, diffuse, and amplify light. Its shades range from completely colorless to slightly smoky or milky tones, depending on the internal structure and density of the crystals. This visual purity gives surfaces a feeling of lightness and depth, while enhancing natural or artificial light effects.
Natural formation :
Classic crystal is a pure form of quartz resulting from an extremely slow crystallization process of silica in rock cavities. This gradual development allows the formation of well-defined crystals with sharp edges and a regular internal structure. This natural formation explains the crystal's great stability and remarkable optical quality.
Origin :
Classic crystal is mined in several regions around the world renowned for the quality of their deposits, notably Brazil, Madagascar, and certain Alpine areas. Each origin subtly influences the clarity and texture of the crystal. At GVA Stones, only stones that meet strict criteria for purity and visual homogeneity are selected.
Symbolism and energetic properties :
Clarity and balance : Classic crystal is associated with transparency and clarity. It evokes order, precision, and harmony, bringing a sense of space and calm to the environments it adorns.
Purity and neutrality : With its natural simplicity, classic crystal acts as a neutral and timeless material, capable of blending into any architectural style without ever dominating the space.
FOR USE IN MARBLE WORK AND DECORATION
Decorative applications :
Walls and panels : As wall cladding or decorative panels, classic crystal creates luminous and refined surfaces. It is particularly popular in contemporary spaces, entrance halls, double-height living rooms, or environments requiring subtle light enhancement.
Art objects : Classic crystal is ideal for creating decorative objects and custom-made sculptural elements. Its transparency allows you to play with volumes and reflections, giving rise to unique pieces with a resolutely elegant character.
Practical benefits :
Timeless : Thanks to its visual neutrality and purity, classic crystal transcends trends and fits equally well in minimalist interiors as well as more luxurious or architectural settings.
Durability & resistance : Its quartz structure gives it excellent resistance and remarkable stability over time, making it a material that is perfectly suited to high-end decorative projects.
Processing and installation techniques :
Careful cutting : Classic crystal requires precise cutting in order to preserve the sharpness of its edges and the quality of its transparency. Each step is carried out with great attention to detail.
Handcrafted assembly : At GVA Stones, crystals are assembled by hand to ensure harmonious visual continuity and a perfectly controlled finish. This craftsmanship allows the light and natural purity of the stone to be fully exploited.
