Product Description
One of the most iconic props associated with Captain Jean-Luc Picard, his “desk crystal” appears prominently in no fewer than 78 episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation, often in his hands during the iconic speeches on moral and ethical issues that are so fundamental to the character of Star Trek’s most ruminative captain.
The re-creation is made of high-end lead crystal: a special blend of optical-grade borosilicate glass with an extremely high refractive index, clear enough for use in lenses, prisms, and other optics. Its impressive heft makes it suitable for use as a paperweight, and it's just the right size to be waved about in one’s hand for oratorical emphasis, as its prismatic properties glimmer and sparkle in the light. The crystals are each meticulously formed, wet-ground, and polished by hand at a company that specializes in fine crystal glassware and chandeliers.
The 3D geometry of the crystal was obsessively reconstructed using digital 3D modeling software, referencing and reconciling hundreds of film frames of the crystal’s appearances across the seasons of TNG. Roddenberry spoke to crew members and vendors involved in the original production of the show and went through approximately 30 physical prototypes before they were confident they had gotten the sizing, along with the number of facets and their orientation, as accurate as possible with all available reference materials.
This is the first installment in a planned three-piece Picard Desk Set, and the crystal has been produced in limited quantities, so don’t miss this opportunity to assemble the full set. It’s a great way to add a bit of commanding gravitas to your workspace, whether that’s the Ready Room of a starship, or a tabletop at a café.
