large amethyst fountain with illuminated rotating rock crystal sphere

A large amethyst fountain with an illuminated, rotating rock crystal sphere. An artistic room sculpture that combines mineral substance with water kinetics and light staging.

The amethyst fountain base is crafted from Brazilian or Uruguayan geode material, within whose violet inner wall the water circulates. The rock crystal sphere rotates on the water flow, a combination of mineralogy and kinetic art.

Both minerals are varieties of quartz that crystallize in the same pegmatitic family. The curatorial connection as a fountain sculpture establishes an aesthetic dialogue between the growth forms.

Such fountain sculptures combine material authenticity with engineering: the water must be precisely metered so that the sphere rotates without jumping out of its holder.

A collector's item at the intersection of mineralogy, fountain construction, and light staging.
