Keyboard Skeleton Quartz
Keyboard Skeleton Quartz
Description
This keyboard skeleton quartz is a dramatic, sculptural specimen defined by its elongated form and open, lattice-like crystal structure. The partially hollowed growth creates a striking interplay of solid quartz and negative space, giving the piece a light, architectural feel despite its substantial scale. Elevated on a stand, it reads as a true statement object, graphic, modern, and visually dynamic from every angle.
Skeleton quartz, sometimes called elestial or window quartz, is prized by collectors for these exposed growth patterns, which reveal stages of crystal development rather than a single, uniform surface. The term “keyboard” refers to the stepped, repeating crystal faces that resemble piano keys along the length of the piece, a feature especially sought after in large-format specimens like this.
Quartz is often associated with clarity and amplification. In skeleton form, it is thought to represent expansion, insight, and the idea of growth through change, making this piece as conceptually compelling as it is visually striking.

Note
All crystals and ceramic works offered by Atelier Lithic are inherently unique. Variations in size, colour, surface texture, and form are natural and should be expected.
Crystals are natural materials formed in the earth and may include surface irregularities such as natural fissures, internal veils, growth marks, contact points from where the crystal was attached to the host rock, or areas where the specimen was mined or extracted. These features are part of the crystal’s natural formation and are not considered defects. Defects are disclosed within the item description.
For crystals:
- When a listing includes numbered options (for example, 001, 002, etc.), each number corresponds to a specific crystal shown in the photos. Selecting a number means you will receive that exact crystal.
- When a crystal is shown as a group or range and sold as a quantity of one without numbered options, the images represent examples of what is available. You will receive one crystal, selected from the group, with natural variation.
For ceramics:
- All ceramic pieces are one of a kind. Unless otherwise stated, you will receive the exact piece shown in the listing photos.
