Terrarium - Pyrite, Beetle, Vertebrate

A quiet meditation on transformation, symmetry, and the shimmer of what remains. This one-of-a-kind medium glass dome terrarium is centered around a vertical column of three raccoon vertebrate bones, stacked with intention—like a totem to the natural cycles of life, decay, and remembrance.

Framing this skeletal monument, two iridescent beetles—one male, one female—gleam with otherworldly color. Their mirrored presence evokes balance and duality, each one a jewel of the forest forever caught in time. Nestled at the base, a rough-hewn pyrite stone adds weight and quiet brilliance, its golden facets a grounding force amid the delicate forms.

Soft preserved moss curls around the base like time-worn undergrowth, its muted greens offering a gentle contrast to the shimmer and bone. The entire piece feels like a forgotten altar unearthed—mysterious, elegant, and elemental.

Perfect for those drawn to the wild, the arcane, and the poetry of natural relics.
