Description from the seller
Given in shungite, carved from a single natural block with a side length of 65 mm, this object combines geometric rigor, primordial matter, and profound symbolism. The shape of the die, a universal archetype of order, destiny, and possibility, is reinterpreted here in an essential and ancestral key, transforming from a simple playful object into a solid loaded with meaning. Shungite, a carbon-rich rock formed over two billion years ago, gives the die an intense and silent presence. The deep, opaque black, interrupted by subtle veins, microfractures, and natural marks, tells a story that predates complex life on Earth. Each face bears unique traces of geological time, making every specimen unrepeatable, never exactly identical to another. The incised dots on the faces appear as primary signs, almost symbols, evoking cycles, probabilities, choice, and fate. In this interpretation, the die does not represent chaotic chance but the encounter between order and unpredictability, between structure and movement. Shungite, known in metaphysical circles for its absorption, protection, and grounding qualities, reinforces this dimension: it does not expand but contains; it does not disperse but stabilizes.
