AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Polished sculpture carved from a block of Brazilian trolleite, this obelisk features intense shades and natural stratifications ranging from sky blue to turquoise, passing through deeper tones of midnight blue and gray. The sinuous veins and color transitions give the object an ethereal, almost dreamlike appearance, making it not only a striking decorative element but also a piece for meditation and collection.
Trolleite is a rare aluminum phosphate that forms in environments rich in hydrothermal fluid, often associated with quartz, lazulite, and scorzalite. Its captivating colors result from the presence of metallic ions and microcrystalline inclusions that blend into unique patterns.
The obelisk, a symbol of ascension and connection between earth and sky, is here carved with harmonious proportions that highlight its verticality and visual strength. It is ideal as an energy center in yoga spaces, professional studios, minimalist environments, or mineralogical collection display cases.
Origin: Brazil
Mineral: Natural Trolleite
Cut: Hand-polished obelisk
Uses: decoration, meditation, collecting
A one-of-a-kind piece that unites mineral beauty, artisan precision, and universal symbolism.
