History The original Viking age find that inspired this piece were found on Gotland, an island off the east coast of Sweden. On the island they found over twenty lenses and a couple of spheres made of rock crystal (clear quartz). It’s a very hard material that requires a lot of effort to cut. There are theories that they have been high status symbols, as well as tools for magnifying or fire making.
