Description from the seller
This pyramid is carved from a single block of noble shungite, selected for its compact structure and the natural veins typical of this rare carbonaceous mineral from Karelia. The dimensions — 155 mm per side and 120 mm in height — give it a sculptural presence, stable and rigorous, with perfectly polished surfaces that highlight its deep black hue. Shungite is considered one of the oldest natural materials on the planet. Its formation dates back to about 2 billion years ago, at the beginning of the Proterozoic Era. During that period, the Earth's atmosphere was poor in oxygen and rich in primordial organic compounds: the ideal environment for the transformation of ancient carbonaceous sediments into a unique mineral, composed of: high-purity amorphous carbon, traces of natural fullerene, and an extraordinarily compact microcrystalline matrix.
Seller's Story
The Mineral Art Gallery offers minerals, fossils, shells and natural elements.
Born in Italy in 2017, today she collaborates with international galleries and collectors, she is a direct importer of large minerals and naturalistic collectible elements; deals with the processing to insert them inside the living space. A section of the gallery was dedicated to the Wunderkammer, "chamber of wonders or cabinet of curiosities" in which Mirabilia elements are presented: naturalia and italiania, a union between "the present is the past".
All lots are shipped via DHL Express and Fercam couriers, with insured parcel and tracking.
