Description
Hello folks! Here comes yet another of the crystals I have been working on recently. This time a most fascinating type of a crystal called Wurtzite, that was suggested to me by the amazing . There are several forms of these, but some of them can appear as having an inner fire like quality to them, which I find absolutely gorgeous.I hope you will enjoy this crystal, despite me trying to switch the usual background into a tiny bit more fitting one (I have seen this kind of background on the websites of many mineral selling companies, and I have to admit that it makes the crystals/minerals stand out a little more than my usual black void). I have several more crystals prepared (some of them from your suggestions), but do not be afraid to point out more fascinating minerals/gems/crystals that you'd see painted, I'm all ears!
For the newcomers, I used to paint crystals as a form of relaxation and an exercise to clear my head and eyes, but it's since become something of a passion of mine.

I am really impressed of how you did its structure, including well-shaped form. Also, the lighting and shading are well done which gives a realistic view, more when far-seen. Great work.
I've seen the other crystals you've done and I must say they are astonishing. Keep up your awesome work.

Thank you! As I have mentioned before, I tend to run a simple test to see
if my work is finished with a gemstone. If I take two steps back and turn around, and then
fail to make the difference between my gem and the reference ones, I call it done

This is a really cool painting! But the name...it just reminds me of Bill Wurtz.

Thank you! Yes, indeed, I've painted all of these. I'm not sure if they have any practical use apart from being very pretty

Damn, nice! And yeah, could probably just be the kind you'd see on jewelry and other expensive stuff.
