Sample of Rock Crystal

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Sample of Rock Crystal by an unknown artist. The image shows a single, irregularly shaped crystal. The crystal is elongated and roughly oval in shape. It has a pointed end and a more jagged end. The crystal is clear and has a rough, textured surface. It is lying on a flat, light gray surface, casting a faint shadow to the left. The background is a plain, light gray color, with a few small, white specks scattered around the crystal. The image is taken from directly above the crystal.
