🔮 Libyan Desert Glass: The Stone of Cosmic Connection

💛 Solar Plexus Chakra

This exceptional Libyan Desert Glass Nine-Tailed Fox represents the meeting of one of the world's rarest natural materials with one of Chinese culture's most enduring mythical symbols. Formed around 29 million years ago when an immense celestial event transformed desert sand into natural glass, Libyan Desert Glass has fascinated collectors for generations. Finding a crystal large enough to create a carving of this scale is extraordinarily uncommon, making pieces such as this increasingly difficult to obtain.

The Nine-Tailed Fox is celebrated throughout Chinese folklore as a symbol of wisdom, transformation and the rewards that come through experience. According to legend, each additional tail marks another stage of growth, with the ninth tail representing the highest level of understanding, longevity and mastery. It is a powerful reminder that life's greatest strengths are earned through patience, resilience and continual evolution.

Our search for this remarkable piece took us across China in pursuit of the finest craftsmanship. After an extensive search, we discovered a master artisan whose work is dedicated exclusively to carving Libyan Desert Glass, a speciality rarely found due to the difficulty of working with this remarkable natural glass. His expertise transforms exceptionally rare rough into sculptures that honour both the material and the mythology they represent.

After the carving was completed, this piece underwent a further week of meticulous polishing to reveal its beautiful golden clarity and exceptional transparency. The result is a remarkable finish that allows light to travel through the glass, showcasing the extraordinary character that makes Libyan Desert Glass so highly sought after by collectors around the world.

To honour its significance, this final Nine-Tailed Fox is presented on a custom hand-carved timber stand, created specifically for this collection. The stand complements the sculpture beautifully while elevating it into a true display piece worthy of a discerning collection.

Traditional Crystal Symbolism

Libyan Desert Glass has long been associated with personal transformation, confidence and embracing new opportunities. Paired with the Nine-Tailed Fox, a symbol of wisdom, resilience and continual growth, this remarkable carving represents the courage to trust your own journey, embracing change while drawing upon the knowledge gained through experience.

This is the final Libyan Desert Glass Nine-Tailed Fox from our exclusive collection, bringing together extraordinary natural history, exceptional craftsmanship and the rich symbolism of Chinese mythology in one truly remarkable work of lapidary art.

🌠✨ Unique & Collectible ✨🌠

For Collectors of rare and unique crystals and for anyone that likes beautiful pieces around the home to add to the beauty and energy of your space.

Niome and I have been delving deeper and deeper into this part of our business for our own pleasure and collection but also for you to add to yours.

We spend countless hours developing relationships and connections with all our suppliers who are aligned with our love for all things crystal and through this process we have been able to acquire some amazing, beautiful pieces.

For us, collectible crystals are not an outlay but rather an investment. Whether the investment is for staging and uplevelling your homes energy, your energy and your homes décor or you see the value within a piece itself.

A piece that you may see today for a certain price may be a completely different price in 5-10 years’ time as everything comes to an end at some point, even certain varieties of crystals. This has been said to both Niome and myself from various friends within the industry and we have taken note.

Then there are crystals that have a delicate structure like Scolecite with their acicular fine needles shooting out from their matrix. Such delicate specimens and when you think about first the care within the handling that’s gone into first mining them, to then shipping them all around the world, my hat goes off to them.

The pieces we have in stock are pieces that truly have been cared for through all the processes it took for them to reach us.

Here are a few things to consider and even research when looking at collectible crystals for yourself -

✨ The size of a certain crystal can be a factor as to whether it’s considered a collectible piece and can vary depending on the crystal type.

✨ larger pieces have been around for a lot longer so to find a larger piece in a specific crystal can be an amazing investment. While smaller crystals depending on the stone itself might be of the rarer variety or the quality is outstanding, therefore it’s amazing it was even found.

✨ If it is a fragile and delicate crystal and has not sustained any damage or minor damage.

✨ Quality of course comes into it as you can have some amazing fluorite and then you have some beautiful gem like Fluorite which is quite rare, especially Blue Fluorite

✨ Specific crystals formed and still on their matrix opposed to polished and carved pieces etc of the same crystal. This can be the game changer between an incredible piece and a collectible piece.

In the end it comes down to what you are drawn too and what is drawn to you. The bonus is when you buy a collectible crystal it becomes a physical investment and will only grow in value in the years to come.

What will your next investment be?
