Dreamlike clear golden yellow citrine sphere with stainless steel light base

A clear golden yellow citrine sphere from Zambia, with a diameter of 20 cm, mounted on a stainless steel light base. The internal illumination transforms the sphere into a light carrier.

Citrine is the yellow variety of quartz, colored by traces of trivalent iron. Zambian material from Kalomo is considered a premium source for naturally grown, gem-quality citrine.

Polishing a 20 cm sphere from clear citrine is a workshop tour de force. The entire shape must emerge from a flawless raw block without micro-fractures.

The stainless steel light base is a curated staging choice: the transparent material becomes a light carrier, and the reflective stainless steel surface amplifies the light and creates an architectural impression.

A collector's item at the intersection of mineral substance and light sculpture.
