"Ringcalmo Lumino" Size: 1.61" Price: SOLD


I'm just going to state up front that I couldn't care less if this marble ever sells. This marble is sort of beyond legendary, and if you get to see it in hand, you'll completely understand what I am talking about. It features 44 - YES, FORTY-FOUR - opals sprinkled throughout the design, with 6 layers of 7 opals each and then one sitting on each pole for a total of 44. The marble is actually one of Travis' gravity wells, but the optical illusions of this magnificent creation are such that you don't even realize it at first until you start to study it more closely. There are layers upon layers of Travis' signature ringcalmo tech, all blue dots, all set in a clear base, so that the whole thing is one huge optical wonderland. Sometimes I feel like I overuse the word mind-boggling, because then when I get to a marble like this, it just doesn't seem strong enough compared to the others, ha. I've taken pictures against both a dark and white background to try and show what it's like, but it still all really gets lost in translation when we're looking at 2D images. The pictures I took of it sitting on a lighted stand might give you the best idea of what you're seeing here. And by the way, that nice wooden stand with an LED light also comes with the marble, because it's a must. Travis is one of a very few artists in the world who I feel are capable of creating something this controlled and technical, and you've gotta see it to believe it! Signed 'Weber 15'.
