Sculptural mineral cluster with saturated yellow crystalline growth intergrown, and milky white crystals on a natural matrix. (dual use (functional paperweight + sculptural object)
Compact, irregular form reading as a small organic sculpture for a paperweight, bookshelf, coffee table, or cabinet.
Materials: natural mineral (yellow crystalline aggregate with white crystals; species not professionally identified).
Dimensions: [H x 1.6–1.8(roughly 4–4.5 cm) x roughly 0.8–1.2 in inches].
: [oz/lb].
Condition: good overall.
Natural surface texture and matrix irregularities throughout. No odor.
Suitable as a decorative object /specimen.
White crystal clusters, honey-yellow granules, cellular, almost lichen and a rusty iron matrix are unprocessed earth—not a cast or print: a real piece of ground on the desk. It has some crumbles coming off of it, so I would find a method of display that is self contained.
The white crystals are faceted but clustered like ice or salt; living-looking patterns, a clear structure (crystals on matrix) without repeating like a product for the eye to wander: white pockets, yellow mounds, red cavities. Small sparkle is a natural, non-rhythmic stimulus as apposed to a screen / fluorescent light.
Does the practical job of a paperweight on the desk the way a stone anchors a garden path: irregular mass / outline, no synthetic plastic shine.
