Optical Crystal Iceberg Award With a Molded Soaring Eagle

The optical crystal iceberg award falls under the Chipped and Frosted Edge Awards category in addition to the general Crystal Awards group. This classification reflects the rough, ice-like texture cut into the crystal block around the molded eagle. Shoppers browsing frosted or textured crystal styles will find this piece listed alongside other iceberg-cut designs.

The optical crystal iceberg award has a rough, faceted ice-like texture across the block, unlike a plain crystal block trophy that is typically polished smooth on every face. The molded eagle figure rises through this textured surface, giving the piece a sculptural quality a flat polished block does not have. Buyers wanting a smoother, more formal look might choose a plain rectangular crystal award instead, while this piece suits programs that want a dramatic focal point.

The optical crystal iceberg award offers two decoration methods on its base, Deep Etch and VividPrint, both applied to the same 4 by 1.5 inch area. Deep Etch produces a permanent engraved mark for a name or short message, while VividPrint applies full color artwork such as a sponsor logo or photo in the same space. A buyer choosing between the two should consider whether the message needs color or works better as a single engraved line.

The optical crystal iceberg award measures 7.75 inches across every one of its eight base color options, including amber, clear, blue and green. There is no separate size tier for this design, so choosing a color does not change the overall footprint of the piece. This keeps the molded eagle and iceberg proportions identical regardless of which base tone is selected.

Each base color of the optical crystal iceberg award, from amber and clear to blue, green, sky blue, white and red, has its own product code and its own minimum order of one piece. This allows a program to order a single piece in one color for one honoree without committing to a larger batch. Mixing colors across multiple honorees in the same order is possible since every color variant qualifies at the same minimum quantity.

Price for the optical crystal iceberg award depends mainly on the base color selected, since clear and tinted colored bases can carry different production steps. The decoration method chosen between Deep Etch and VividPrint also plays a role, along with whether a colorfill is added to the etched text. Order quantity affects the per-piece cost as well, since larger runs typically bring the price down.

The optical crystal iceberg award has a standard production time of 5 working days from artwork approval across all eight base colors. The product record does not list a faster rush option for this design, so buyers should plan around the standard schedule. A single piece in any color still ships within that same 5 day window since the minimum order is just one unit.

The optical crystal iceberg award should be dusted with a soft, dry cloth to keep the textured iceberg surface free of buildup in its grooves. A slightly damp cloth can lift fingerprints from the smoother base and molded eagle without leaving streaks. The piece should sit on a stable, flat surface since the tapered base is roughly 2 inches thick and provides most of the stability.
