Stoneridge Engineering is THE Source
for Rare and Beautiful Lichtenberg Figures!
(Page updated 03/18/10 - may change without notice)


6" x 8" x 3/4" figures with polished edges

Each of these spectacular specimens have been carefully irradiated and discharged on either an edge or in the center to create beautiful specimens.  Some interior discharge specimens "self-discharged" while being irradiated. This creates beautifully chaotic, "bushy", or very dense dendritic patterns. Some figures have a mix of various patterns. Although the individual patterns vary significantly from piece to piece, we guarantee that you will be satisfied with yours.  These specimens are incredibly beautiful when illuminated from below by our custom walnut light bases. Bases are natural walnut with a satin finish, available with bright white or "electric blue" LED's. A 1.25" wide area is available for mounting an engraved plaque to convert your sculpture into a personalized award or gift that will be treasured forever.   We can also provide custom laser-engraving with your message and logo

Our custom walnut light bases enhance the inner beauty of our 6" or 8" wide x 3/4" specimens.  Internally reflected light bathes the entire figure, causing it to glow brightly from within. Larger discharge paths sparkle in an almost crystalline fashion, and even the most delicate, hair-like discharge tips are clearly highlighted.  Bright white and "electric blue" LED strips are available.

Universal 120/240 volt power adapters are provided with US power plug, and
plug converters can be provided for EC, UK, and Australian power. Our 6" wide  base is $78.00 plus $7 S&H and the 8" wide base is $96.00 plus $8 S&H. These bases can be purchased from our Gallery 1 Lichtenberg Figures page.

A space of up to 1.25" x 6" is available to permit adding an engraved plaque to create a truly unique retirement gift or corporate award. 


Interior Discharge
(in DK60x75B base)

The "electric blue" LED's makes the sculpture appear more spark-like.  This beautiful walnut base is suitable for environments having a lower level of ambient light. Select the DK60x75W or DK80x75W if you have an environment with higher ambient light (such as office lighting).

6" and 8" wide bases can support vertical or horizantal display of your sculpture. The 6" wide walnut base is $78.00 plus $7 S&Hm and the 8" wide base is $96.00 plus $8 S&H.

These bases can be purchased from our Gallery 1 Lichtenberg Figures page.
Combination of Chaotic and Dendritic  Discharge
(in DK60x75W base)

Note: This particular specimen was on exhibit at the Design Museum (Museum fur Gestaltung) in Zurich, Switzerland during the Spring and Summer of 2005. The exhibit, about Dendritic Forms In Science, included fractals, Lichtenberg Figures, and a number of dielectric breakdown photographs by scientist Arthur von Hippel.

Note the similarity of the above discharge structure to the million volt Lichtenberg Figures dancing on the surface of the water from the Sandia Z-Machine:
