Chatoyant Serpentine Beach Cobble
$100.00
A palm-sized serpentine cobble found on the beach, polished on one side and left natural on the other. Running through the middle is a striking chatoyant band where the aligned fibres within the stone catch and reflect the light, creating a shimmering effect that shifts as the stone moves.

Description
This small serpentine cobble was found on the beach and carefully polished on one face while leaving the opposite side untouched and natural. The contrast between the smooth polished surface and the weathered outer skin of the stone highlights both its raw origins and the hidden beauty within.
The most striking feature is the bright chatoyant band running through the centre of the cobble. In this area, the fibres within the stone have aligned in a way that reflects light back in a shimmering line, almost glowing as the stone is turned in the hand. It is a subtle but very noticeable natural effect that gives the piece depth and movement.
