Description from the seller

This obelisk in Kambaba jasper is a fragment of primordial time, carved with precision and polished to reveal the ancient patterns of its fossil matrix. Kambaba, known for its green and black circular patterns, is a sedimentary rock formed billions of years ago from ancient stromatolites, colonies of cyanobacteria that contributed to the birth of Earth's atmosphere. The surface displays a series of concentric structures and serpentine lines, resembling biological maps crystallized over time. Each circle tells a story of growth and fossilization, with shades of olive green, deep black, and golden accents of natural oxides. Mounted on a wooden base with brass finishes, the obelisk becomes a sculptural decorative element, perfect for collectors and environments seeking a balance between natural material and design. It is a silent testament to Earth's ancient life, transformed into a geometric and harmonious form.
Obelisk dimensions: 290 × 80 × 70 mm
Height with base: 355 mm.
