Gallery 2 Sculptures
How to display your sculptures: The images on our site were taken using lighting conditions which highlight the delicate internal patterns. For best results, actively illuminate sculptures from below or along an edge using LED's or another source of bright light. This way, light is reflected by the tiny mirror-like fractures, causing the internal Lichtenberg figure to glow brilliantly with the color(s) of the light source(s). Illuminating a sculpture using only transmitted light, such as looking through the sculpture to a bright window, actually reduces the observed detail and inner beauty. We offer a wide variety of standard and custom LED light bases that optimally illuminate our sculptures. As with snowflakes, every Lichtenberg figure is unique. Although your figure may differ from the examples shown on our web site, we guarantee it will be of similar, or better, quality. Most specimens have small fractures and light charring near the exit point of the discharge. This is a natural consequence of the high energy discharge process. By adding suitably engraved or lettered metal plaques to our bases, Captured Lightning sculptures make memorable gifts or unique academic, corporate, or retirement awards. We also offer custom laser engraving for our larger flat sculptures. Captured Lightning sculptures are treasured works of scientific art that will enhance the decor of any room or executive suite. Because demand is high and quantities limited, we recommend ordering soon to avoid possible disappointment. We combine shipping on multiple items whenever possible. International Customers - PLEASE NOTE:
Be sure to read the How to Order section before placing your order. You must select a shipping option so that we can properly process and ship your order!

| Style 46 3.5" diameter Magnabrite® light capturing magnifiers. These precision optical elements were part of an experimental run, so there are only a limited

We also suggest getting a round walnut base to cradle your sculptures and help prevent scratching when used on a flat surface. Walnut base may not be usable with some light bases. Polyurethane protectors are included to optionally protect top surface of base and bottom of sculpture. Style 46: $230 plus $7.50 S&H Round Walnut Ring for Style 46: $12 plus $2.00 S&H |
Style 53
These
are stately 2" dia. by 6" long Captured Lightning cylinders. Some
sculptures were rotated as they were being irradiated in order to
generate a cylindrically-shaped layer of charge deep inside. Other
sculptures were passed through the beam twice to create two separate but
linked discharge regions. When
discharged, the rotated specimens formed discharges that followed the
cylindrical layer, forming a
hollow cylindrically-shaped captured lightning pattern. Those specimens
that were passed through the beam twice formed beautiful branching
"Windblown Lightning" between the two charge layers, similar to our smaller Style 13A sculptures. We recommend using the CR35MC, ROT45MC, BD752MC, or BD753MC multicolor light bases or the LM2690 or LM2692 round wooden white LED light base. AC adapters for the ROT45MC are available only for North American power. The other bases can be supplied with AC adapters for North American, EC, UK, or Australian power options.
