Description from the seller
This shungite cube, carved from a single solid block, is a strongly material and symbolic object. With sides measuring 10 cm and weighing approximately 2250 grams, it immediately conveys a sense of solidity, density, and concentration. It is not a decorative form in the common sense, but a full, essential volume that occupies space with purpose. The geometry of the cube, an archetype of absolute stability, is reinterpreted here with a functional and conceptual detail: one edge has been deliberately removed, creating a flat surface that allows the cube to be placed and maintained in a stable position. This choice breaks the mathematical perfection without distorting it, introducing a point of dialogue between geometric rigor and practical use. The cube can thus be oriented naturally, almost as if it were a sculpture designed to find its own balance. The surfaces are polished with care, revealing the authentic appearance of shungite: a deep, opaque black, dotted with fine gray-anthracite veins, microfractures, and tiny inclusions.
