Apple Discontinued Crystal 10 Years Service Award rare:
$1000.00

This rare and seldomly sold award is an absolute treasure and will become the centerpiece of any display for collectors of Apple items. The crystal is impeccable and absolutely flawless. From every angle, it is evident that this piece of art is crafted with the excellence and attention that Apple continues to uphold today. The piece is approximately 15+ years old. Currently Apple gifts 10 year employees an aluminum version with their name etched on it, unlike this 14.5lb crystal slab.

Description directly from the Apple materials as described by designer Jony Ive:

Your Apple 10-Year Award

* The fabrication of this award begins with a 14.5-pound block of highly refractive lead glass that bends and captures light better than ordinary glass. The surfaces are then planed and polished to eliminate distortions and imperfections, creating what is essentially a high-quality optical lens with a unique brilliance and sparkle. A rough outline of the Apple logo is carved into the glass using a high-pressure waterjet, and a computerized milling machine is used to cut the edges of the logo precisely. In the end, the Apple logo is cut perfectly perpendicular to the top and bottom of the award. And finally, the interior is sandblasted to create a striking white appearance that's also soft to the touch.

I will carefully package it for shipping with plenty of bubble wrap for secure transportation and arrival.
