A vase with lid worked in opal. At 8.7 inches and 17777 g it wants a shelf of its own rather than a desk corner.
Quartz carries its inclusions and internal veiling into whatever is carved from it, so light entering the polished surface scatters before it returns. That is what gives a quartz carving depth rather than flatness.
Hollowing stone is slower and riskier than shaping it — the wall has to stay even, and any flaw the block was hiding will find the thinnest point.
