It investigates many objects and varied aspects of rock crystal such as: the physical nature and legendary as well as actual origins of the material; its manufacturing techniques and affiliations to other luxurious objects, such as cut glass and carved precious stones; legends and traditions associated with its aesthetic qualities; as well as issues concerning its varied functions and historiography."-- NO Bibliografie: Seite 291-319 CN NK6055 SN 9783786128434 K1 Quartz art objects : Mediterranean Region K1 Quartz : Mediterranean Region K1 Quartz K1 Quartz art objects K1 Quartz art objects - Mediterranean Region K1 Quartz - Mediterranean Region K1 Mediterranean Region K1 Aufsatzsammlung
