Steve Walters Hand-Carved Druzy Agate Sculpture - Custom Designer Free-Form rectangular
The Piece
Up for auction/sale is a masterful, hand-carved Druzy Agate Sculpture creation by the award-winning lapidary artist Steve Walters. Known for his revolutionary "sculptural" approach to gemstones, this piece exemplifies his ability to blend raw natural beauty with sophisticated, free-hand geometry.
In this striking free-form sculpture, Walters explores the interplay between the 'architectural' and the 'organic.' By framing a core of shimmering, micro-crystalline Druzy Agate within a border of masterfully polished, sleek agate planes, he creates a window into the Earth’s natural geometry. The 55-carat surface area allows for a breathtaking display of light—where the druzy 'sparkle' provides a kinetic energy that is grounded by the smooth, fluid lines of the hand-carved perimeter. This piece is a quintessential example of Walters’ ability to highlight the raw 'inner soul' of a mineral while imposing a sophisticated, modern silhouette. Its generous proportions and relatively thin 7.1mm profile make it an ideal candidate for a bold, lightweight statement pendant.
