Description from the seller
This exceptional tiger’s eye (carmine) sphere impresses with powerful chromatic drama, composed of a warm golden yellow, a deep reddish brown and dark, almost black lines. Striking and fluid bands dynamically cover the entire surface, creating a strong and kinetic aesthetic.
Fascinating is especially the chatoyance — the typical silky glint of tiger’s eye. Depending on the viewing angle, golden reflections move across the surface and make the structure appear alive. The golden areas look almost metallic, while the pinkish zones give the piece additional depth and warmth.
The precision of the polishing brings out each layer and enhances the interaction between shine and structure. Thanks to the spherical shape, light is distributed evenly, so the fibers and characteristic bands stand out in a particularly impressive way.
A remarkable collectable object of exceptional quality — powerful in expression and color intensity, with a rare intensity of the chatoyant effect and an inimitable natural dynamics.
Note: The base shown is not included with the delivery but can be purchased separately.
