Garnet in black schist matrix meteorite in the form of a female body sculpture—stylized, elegant and sinuous; country of origin: Italy.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Fascinating artistic bust in black shale embellished with natural red garnets, depicting a stylized female body in an elegant and sinuous pose. The handcrafted work enhances the soft curves of the figure, creating a play of light and shadow on the perfectly polished surface.
The contrast between the dark matrix of the schist and the garnet inclusions, visible as scattered ruby-like spots on the stone, gives this piece a vibrant visual dynamic. Each specimen is unique, as the pattern of the garnets follows natural, unrepeatable patterns formed over millions of years.
This sculpture is ideal as a decorative element for refined interiors, art galleries, design studios, or meditation spaces. Beyond its aesthetic value, it also embodies strong symbolism: garnet is considered a crystal associated with vital strength, passion, and protection.
A union of art and geology, beauty and strength, capable of enriching any environment with a sensual, authentic, and sophisticated touch.
