Lot 152 | Brosche aus Achat, sogenannte Schottenbrosche, Idar-Oberstein, um 1880
Metall. 3 Achate in Form von 2 flachen Ringen und einer an den Enden angespitzten Wellenform. D. ca. 3,9 cm. Derartige Broschen wurden am sogenannten Sash, der Schärpe der schottischen Highland-"Tracht" getragen. In Schottland gibt es allerdings keine Achatvorkommen, wohingegen die Region um Idar-Oberstein jahrhundertelang dafür bekannt war. Um 1800 wurde die Ausbeute der einheimischen Achatfundstellen auch dort immer geringer. Dies bedingte, dass viele Menschen aus dieser Region nach Südamerika auswanderten. Einige dieser Auswanderer entdeckten 1828 Vorkommen von Achaten in Brasilien und Uruguay. Von nun an wurden große Mengen von Achat nach Idar-Oberstein geliefert. Damit wurde die Grundlage für einen enormen wirtschaftlichen Aufschwung in den beiden Orten geschaffen. Die Schmuck-Erzeugnisse wurden weltweit exportiert und auch Schottland bezog seinen Schottenschmuck von dort. SvP
