3D scan of a woman representing “Garnet”. From the raw crystal material at the base of the caryatid’s column emerges the figure of a femme fatale: in a playful, almost erotic pose, she is putting on a necklace of garnets. The figure was created by Rudolf Weyr (1847-1914) and is part of the decorative program in Hall IV of the Natural History Museum. **Object**: Garnet – The Eroticism of the Stone **Collection**: Natural History Museum Vienna (contact: Stefanie Jovanović-Kruspel) Find out more about the NHMW [here](http://www.nhm-wien.ac.at/en) Scanned and edited by Anna Haider (NHMW) Scanner: Artec Leo.
