The Parlando convex mirror features a series of dramatically striated fluorite points. The colors range from an amethyst purple to a golden cognac to crystal to traces of green. They are mounted onto a gold leafed frame with a ring of Venetian glass rods in various shades of purples and an inner ring of amethyst spheres. The mirror is around 22 inches in diameter.

Parlando is a technique of musicians that combines qualities of spoken dialogue with music. It is used for dramatic effect.
The image on the header for this mirror shows the great Paganini( 1782-1864). “Parlando Paganini” likely refers to the renowned violinist Niccolo Paganini, whose virtuosic and dramatic style earned him the nickname “The Devil’s Violinist”. While there is no specific well-known piece titled “Parlando Paganini,” the term suggests a focus on Paganini’s expressive and speech-like playing techniques, which was characteristic of his performances and compositions, such as his famous Violin Concerto No. 1, which features complex techniques like scordatura to achieve a more dramatic and “speaking” quality.
But the glory of this mirror is the use of fluorite. Here are a couple of pictures showing fluorite in its carved and natural state.
