Molten Origins
Sphere 1-18
18 x 18 x 18 cm
Stone
A sphere of polished history — layered with jasper reds, creamy quartzites, fossil-rich limestones, and the shadow of flint and agate. A touch of hand-gilded gold draws the eye, like sunlight breaking through stone. Each surface holds time’s imprint, echoing riverbeds, shorelines, and volcanic beginnings.

Stone Map Guide (example for this piece):
🔴 Red Jasper – deep iron-rich stones, grounding and fiery, circling the mid-layers.
🤍 Quartzite / Light Agates – smooth cream and beige, cooling contrasts to the warmth.
⚫ Flint / Chert – dark glossy blacks and greys, anchoring the sphere’s weight.
🟤 Fossil Limestone – patterned browns with ancient textures, fragments of sea-life in stone.
✨ Gold Highlight – three brushed stones, symbolic of illumination and transformation.
