Luxurious Crystal Sculptures

The Midnight-Colored Crystal Elephant from Baccarat is $37,000

— February 22, 2015 — Luxury
The Midnight Crystal Elephant by Baccarat will bring good luck and good fortune to those who own it. This heavy duty elephant sculpture will set you back $37,000, if you so wish to have its power.

Elephants are the international sign of wisdom and prosperity. (Don't forget they are sacred to the Hindu religion — Lord Ganesha is the remover of obstacles and the patron of art. This crystal elephant is carved from a single piece of dyed midnight blue crystal. The detailing is remarkable around the ribbed trunk, the smooth tusks and the glistening body.

A paper weight of sorts, the Crystal Elephant by Baccarat rests comfortably on one's home desk. When adorned on one's desk, the crystal elephant will bring good luck to those who own it -- and likely some debt from its hefty price tag.
