Stone the crow's eyes: Rolf Spectacles in an another eyewear first

Having deservedly won numerous awards for its great wooden frames, Austrian glasses specialist Rolf Spectacles has created another first in the run-up to Silmo, the year's big optical show in Paris in three weeks... Glasses made from stone!

"The material stone with its strong structure brings a new surface into the optical industry. With the combination of the light material wood the frame provides a high wearing comfort," says Rolf in a pre-Silmo statement.

Definitely a highlight of the year - I look forward to trying a pair out!

In a nod perhaps to the Flintstones, the frame is called Dino.
