Description from the seller

Natural sculpture of biotite and emeralds, a masterpiece of mineralogy.
Carved directly from biotite, the sculpture reveals inside groups of emeralds, symbol of hope and life. The contrast between the matte black of the biotite and the green of the emeralds highlights the rare beauty and strong presence of the crystals, evoking the deep mines from which they were extracted. This work of art not only captures the eye but also tells the story of those who dared to delve into the depths of the earth to recover such treasures.
