Description from the seller
Polished Granatite Free-Form – Madagascar
A striking polished Granatite free-form from Madagascar, distinguished by its rich, complex mineral composition and dramatic natural textures.
This sculptural piece displays a deep interplay of burgundy red, warm rust, honey-gold and creamy quartz tones, interwoven with crystalline inclusions and brecciated structures. The surface reveals intricate internal patterns, with translucent quartz-rich areas contrasting beautifully against the darker iron-rich matrix. Subtle fractures and natural mineral pockets add character and authenticity, highlighting the geological history of the stone.
The high-gloss polish enhances depth and color saturation, allowing light to interact with the crystalline sections and reveal fine structural details. The softly rounded, upright form gives the piece a balanced and imposing presence, making it visually engaging from every angle.
The flat, stable base allows secure display without the need for a stand.
A bold and distinctive decorative mineral, ideal for collectors or as a statement piece in refined contemporary interiors.
