A polished finish — smooth and continuous, without interruption across the entire surface. The sphere is turned from natural onyx, a dense stone that carries its color and veining in deep, unrepeated formation across every piece. Chestnut Brown runs warm sandy amber threaded with dark geological banding; Moss Green holds a dense, mottled field of forest and sage broken by fine branching veins.
A writer's desk, cleared to its essentials — a leather journal, a stack of books read more than once. The sphere sits where the surface has room to breathe, held by its own weight. Cool to the touch, it gives nothing back when handled — just the weight of solid stone and a finish the hand returns to.
