Floating Votive III

A column of antiqued selenite rises with quiet authority, its eleven inches of height capturing and diffusing light in the way only this luminous stone can — at once opaque and radiant, mineral and ethereal. The Floating Votive III from John Richard is a study in restraint, the generous eight-inch footprint grounding a form that seems to hover between sculpture and function. Its antiqued finish deepens the natural striations of the selenite, lending the piece an archaeology of time that sits beautifully on a console, mantel, or library shelf.
