These figures were carefully irradiated and then discharged along one edge or in the interior to create beautifully shaped discharge regions. A few sculptures may have "self discharged" - in this case chaotic or exceptionally "bushy" dendritic figures are created such as the center figure below. Sometimes part of the figure will be bushy while the rest is chaotic ("Mixed" discharge). Specimens with self-discharged interior may have the "root" located anywhere within the interior. Manually discharged interior specimens will have the root located near the center. Although the fractal patterns vary significantly from piece to piece, every Captured Lightning (Lichtenberg figure) sculpture comes with a money back guarantee for your satisfaction. For best display results, specimens should be edge-illuminated by a bright light source (such as white or colored LED's). Some sculptures may show slight milkiness when illuminated by bright LED's or slight yellow-green fluorescence when illuminated by blue LED's. See also our beveled Style 06A which is the same overall size but has beveled edges on three sides.

For best appearance, we suggest ordering our custom solid walnut lighted base (available with white or "electric blue" LED's) or our black brushed aluminum light bases (white LED's only) for best appearance. AC power adapters are normally supplied with US/North American power connectors but we can also supply universal 120/240 volt adapters for United Kingdom (UK), European Community (EC), or Australian power.
