23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of cut crystals of aquamarine, a variety of beryl mineral. The mesmerizing aqua-blue hue is reminiscent of tranquil tropical waters, instantly transporting us to serene coastal landscapes. Each crystal reflects light with such brilliance and clarity that it seems as if they hold within them the secrets of the ocean depths. Aquamarine, derived from the Latin words "aqua" meaning water and "marina" meaning sea, perfectly captures its essence. These precious gems are formed deep within Earth's crust over millions of years, emerging as a result of geological processes involving beryllium ore. The careful cutting process has transformed these raw stones into polished masterpieces that radiate elegance and sophistication. The intricate facets on each crystal create an enchanting play between light and shadow, enhancing their inherent allure. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can almost feel a sense of tranquility washing over us - a gentle reminder to find solace in nature's wonders. Science Photo Library has beautifully captured this moment in time where artistry meets science. This image serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with natural treasures and our ability to transform them into objects that inspire awe and admiration. Whether displayed in homes or admired by gem enthusiasts worldwide, this print is sure to captivate hearts with its timeless beauty.
