"Sticks and Stones 3"

 

“Sticks and Stones 3” FF517 is an opal‑replacement sculpture that showcases the subtle beauty of ancient debris preserved in stone. The sticks and stones within this piece began as small fragments of natural material from the Cretaceous period. Over millions of years, opal replaced those fragments, capturing their shapes exactly as they settled.

Hand‑exposed from our Koroit mine, FF517 reveals these fossilised forms with clarity and respect. The opal highlights the original textures and outlines, adding colour and light to the quiet arrangement left behind by nature.

Stone measurements: a) 1.5cm x 3.5cm x 4cm b) 4cm x 3.5cm x 4cm

This sculpture continues the Sticks and Stones series with a focus on authenticity, geological storytelling, and the personal connection to the land that produced it. FF517 is a reminder of how time transforms even the smallest pieces of debris into something meaningful and beautiful.
