AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Splendid and massive example of an art object carved from a single block of natural hard stone. The piece stands out for its extraordinary vibrant apple green coloration, characterized by a dense 'spider-web' matrix in shades of anthracite gray and black, typical of the most prized mineral formations.

The central bath is finely smoothed and mirror-polished to enhance the translucency of the stone, while the outer edges retain the natural split of the raw mineral, creating a refined material contrast.

Dimensions:
Height: 4.8 cm; Width: 21 cm; Depth: 19 cm; Weight: 2.4 kg.
