Description from the seller
This mineral sculpture in Madeira citrine features a surprising shape, the result of a natural process and subsequent thermal transformation that gives the crystals their characteristic warm, saturated, and brilliant color. The structure is broad and articulated, with a pattern that alternates recesses and protrusions like a relief carved by time. The deep ochre of the crystals, almost orange at the brightest tips, intertwines with the milky white of the marginal areas, creating a stark yet harmonious contrast. The form, sinuous and irregular, suggests an organic line that vaguely resembles a moving marine animal, as if nature had frozen for a moment an emerging profile from the depths. It is an elegant and powerful silhouette at the same time, perfect for those who love pieces that do more than decorate—they tell a complex geological story. The dark metal support enhances the luminosity of the citrine and supports the work as a true decorative element: an object suitable for modern environments, professional studios, or spaces dedicated to mineralogical collections. Its aesthetic is never static: it changes with the light, warms up, lights up, revealing new details with each observation. The interior of the cavity is covered with a dense spread of well-formed crystals, each with its own geometry: sharp facets, intense reflections, and a transparency that allows observing the internal play of mineralized inclusions.
