Hand‑crafted sphere of Onyx Aragonite, a calcite banded mineral, 13 cm in diameter and weighing 2.7 kg, originating from North Africa, Morocco.
Description from the seller
Spectacular high-quality polished Aragonite Onyx sphere. Ref. MI048
An impressive sphere is offered, carved and polished from a selected block of Aragonite Onyx (banded calcite). This mineral is famous for its layering growth, producing a beautiful pattern of parallel bands. When worked into a spherical shape, cutting of these layers reveals a fascinating geometry of concentric rings in cream, beige, ochre, and brown tones, reminiscent of natural wood grain veins.
With a professional mirror polish that enhances the depth of its colors, it is a perfect display piece for mineral collectors and a highly elegant and visually magnetic home décor element.
Mineral: Aragonite Onyx / Banded Calcite.
Morphology: Perfect sphere hand-carved with a glossy finish.
Origin: North Africa
Dimensions: 13 cm
Weight: 2,700 g.
Condition
Natural / Carved. The mineral is completely genuine and retains its original colors and bands. It has been subjected exclusively to a mechanical turning and fine polishing process to achieve sphericity and vitreous shine, with no dyes or artificial resins added.
