Fulgurite of the lightning stone - Anselmus Botius de Boodt

Fulgurite of the lightning stone: the mineralogical precision of Anselmus Botius de Boodt
The composition stages the fulgurite as a central subject, combining cerulean textures and amber brown shades to suggest the trace of a solidified lightning bolt. The technique combines attention to detail and naturalistic rendering, where every crevice and reflection restores the mineral density and geological fragility. The atmosphere is both scientific and contemplative, inviting the eye to follow the veins and irregularities of the material. The visual elements — light contrast, precise grain, and earthy palette — give the work a presence that is both sober and captivating.
