AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This obelisk in Kambaba jasper was crafted from a block sourced from the Archean sediments of Madagascar. The alternation of dark green and black tones, with well-defined orbicular structures, gives the stone a mysterious and archaic appearance, reminiscent of marine microcosms frozen in time.
The polished surface reveals intricate details: concentric circles, undulating veins, and deep inclusions, which give the obelisk an extraordinary sculptural presence and a powerful visual energy.
Kambaba jasper is a sedimentary variety of jasper, different from volcanic-origin jaspers. It is primarily composed of microcrystalline quartz, with significant inclusions of silicified stromatolites: ancient fossil structures produced by cyanobacteria, among the earliest forms of photosynthetic life to appear on the planet.
It formed over 2 billion years ago, during the Precambrian Era, in shallow coastal marine environments where cyanobacteria accumulated layers of organic material and calcium carbonate, later replaced by silica during diagenesis.
Kambaba Jasper is known for its energetic properties related to connection with the Earth, stability, and ancestral memory. It is often used in crystal therapy as a grounding stone and for deep meditation, as it is believed to hold the primordial vibration of life.
The obelisk, in particular, is a shape that channels energy upward, acting as a natural amplifier for spaces of introspection, study, meditation, or collection display.
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.
