These figures have three beveled edges. The bottom edge is not beveled so that the sculpture can be securely held by a matching light base (ordered separately). These sculptures were carefully irradiated and then discharged along the bottom edge to create a beautiful tree-like discharge. Sometimes a specimen may se;f-discharge resulting in part of the figure will being bushy while the rest is chaotic ("Mixed" discharge). Self-discharged specimens may have the "root" of the discharge located anywhere within the edge or interior. Although the fractal patterns vary from piece to piece, they all look similar. 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. We also have a similar size sculpture without beveled edges - see our Style 5 sculptures.

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 (cool white LED's only) for best appearance. AC power adapters are normally supplied with a US/North American power connector but we can also supply universal 120/240 volt adapters for United Kingdom (UK), European Community (EC), or Australian power.
