Black as a color
An abstract piece in diabase often consists of nothing but sweep and cut, and that is what lets the dark stone speak. Abstract diabase sculptures for sale at 1,000 to 2,000 euro belong to those for whom darkness counts as a color.
In dark stone, detail disappears and the silhouette stands out all the more. Abstract diabase works use that: a single sweep, a pierced body, a split plane, nothing more is needed. Polished, the stone looks like wet pitch; bush-hammered, like coal. In sunlight it stays surprisingly calm, in raking light edges gleam like thin lines.

Effect in the room
Dark sculptures hold a room together when they stand against light plaster or wood. In the garden they set themselves off from green and gravel. Note weight and dimensions from the listing and plan firm ground. Care for the piece with a soft cloth; wax is only needed on polished surfaces. Ask about the polish, since it decides how strongly the stone mirrors.
