Description
Polished Gold Sheen Obsidian SphereMexico
1.89 inches (4.81 cm) in diameter
This polished Gold Sheen Obsidian sphere displays a rich, smoky black body illuminated by sweeping bands of metallic gold sheen. Subtle shifts in light reveal a velvety, reflective glow that moves fluidly across the curved surface, creating a dramatic sense of depth. The spherical form enhances the natural optical effect, allowing the golden luster to appear and recede with changing angles. This elegant Obsidian sphere offers a refined balance of natural beauty and visual intrigue, making it a striking decorative and collector-focused piece.
Estimate: $200 - up.
