The Monolith

This is not a sculpture. It is the earth itself, extracted whole — a monumental green aventurine crystal tower formation that stands as a single unbroken piece. Fabiano did not carve this. He only chose it, and carried it out of the mountain. The multiple points grew naturally over tens of millions of years, each one reaching upward at its own angle.

The green aventurine carries veins of gold-brown iron inclusion that trace the formation's geological history like rings in a tree. Smaller crystals and smoky quartz specimens arranged at the base show the scale of what still remains in the earth. This is the only non-sculpted piece in the collection — and the largest.
