AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Carved from a single block of Madagascar polychrome jasper, this flame-shaped vortex seems to carry within its polished edges the very movement of the Earth. The surfaces, polished to become almost liquid, alternate between smoky transparencies and solid patches of red, ochre, and brown: a natural mosaic that tells of the slow sedimentation of oxides, silicas, and minerals distributed in irregular layers, then united into a single mineral architecture. The ascending spiral shape is not merely an aesthetic choice: it amplifies the intrinsic nature of the polychrome jasper, a mineral known for its rooted energy and, at the same time, for its ability to 'open' the gaze to broader horizons. The tight curves, edges, inclined planes, and light cavities seem to follow a precise direction: from bottom to top, like a flame that narrows, twists, and then rises.
Seller's Story
The Mineral Art Gallery offers minerals, fossils, shells and natural elements.
Born in Italy in 2017, today she collaborates with international galleries and collectors, she is a direct importer of large minerals and naturalistic collectible elements; deals with the processing to insert them inside the living space. A section of the gallery was dedicated to the Wunderkammer, "chamber of wonders or cabinet of curiosities" in which Mirabilia elements are presented: naturalia and italiania, a union between "the present is the past".
All lots are shipped via DHL Express and Fercam couriers, with insured parcel and tracking.
