{"product_id":"crystal-candlestick-magenta","title":"Crystal Candlestick, Magenta","description":"\u003cp\u003eA saturated magenta, pink pushed toward violet, deepest in the hollows between the crystals and brightest at the faceted tips.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrown, not cut. Isaac Monte dissolves five to seven minerals in boiling water in a large metal tank, suspends a form in the solution and lets the tank cool. Over the following weeks the minerals come out of the water and grow onto it. Nothing is glued and nothing is carved. The crystal is the object.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe color comes from which minerals went into the tank, and the texture from how fast the water gave them up. Where the surface is coarse and faceted the crystals grew slowly; where it runs fine and dense they grew fast.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout five inches tall, sized for a standard taper, about one inch in diameter. Light behaves differently in crystal than in glass. Less reflection, more refraction, and the facets catch the flame at every angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe sets the chemistry, the temperature and the timing. The tank decides the rest. Each Magenta candlestick is grown on its own, so the one you receive will differ from the photo in its crystals and the depth of its color.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne on a console reads as sculpture. Two on a holiday table reads as an evening. For the friend whose taste runs singular, the collector, the registry that wants art instead of a place setting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mineral Series","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46430304731180,"sku":null,"price":298.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0693\/8732\/1388\/files\/mv-cb270-ms-candle-magenta-hero_5fa2e6ee-f68a-44a4-9ad7-7cf160c85512.jpg?v=1793215306","url":"https:\/\/www.shopmavie.com\/products\/crystal-candlestick-magenta","provider":"MA VIE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
