About the Item
Metamorphosis Owl” — Quartz Crystal
Gold Vermeil Sculpture on Petrified Wood
Artist: Luis Alberto, signed
A mesmerizing fusion of nature’s ancient materials and masterful lapidary artistry, the Metamorphosis Owl embodies transformation, wisdom, and the mystical presence of the nocturnal guardian. Hand-carved from a radiant quartz cluster, the sculpture retains the natural crystal formation crown, creating the impression of feathers mid-emergence — a striking visual metaphor for metamorphosis and evolution.
The owl rests gracefully upon a richly textured base of petrified wood, millions of years in the making, grounding the celestial clarity of quartz with the enduring legacy of fossilized earth. Elegant accents of gold vermeil form the beak and talons, paired with polished gemstone eyes set in golden surrounds that animate the expression with lifelike depth and alertness.
Every detail, from the delicately faceted wings to the finely textured chest feathers, reflects a reverence for both gemstone and wildlife, capturing the owl’s powerful symbolism: wisdom, intuition, and the ability to see beyond the visible realm.
