The pictures of the rare Faberge egg are amazing. It is the Winter Egg and considered one of the most beautiful of the Faberge eggs. It has 4,500 diamonds in a snowflake pattern on the outside all sparkling in the light. Inside is a basket of white quartz flowers. The record price was $30.2 million U.S. at the much-anticipated auction. It went to a private buyer.
Doing an image search, there are a lot of pictures with hands touching this egg. I hope it is the same person in a single sitting - looks like it. There is even one picture with the egg lifted up in the person’s hands. All makes me nervous.
To see all the details go to the CNN site HERE. It shows the outside with the thousands of tiny diamonds sparkling on the snowflakes and the icicles. Inside, look at the basket and the flowers with the tiny stamens and pistils. So intricate. We love tiny things.
Below that article is another Faberge egg headline: Man charged with theft after allegedly swallowing Faberge egg. Other articles say that he ate the egg. It is a Faberge James Bond Octopussy Egg locket worth $19,300. The octopus has been set with two black diamond eyes. I wonder what they are seeing now. He is being monitored by New Zealand police after the incident in a store.
Are you interested in the rest of the eggs? They are HERE well sort of, some of them, and others for sale.
I found this Lotus picture from my trip to Lotusland, the famous botanic garden in Santa Barbara. With a bit of Lightroom and Photoshop wizardry, the Lotus bloom shines.
