Condensed to the core
Abstract stone sculpture in diabase is sculpture condensed to the essentials: dark body, clean cuts, few planes. Abstract diabase sculptures in stone for sale will appeal to those who prefer to see mass and line without distraction.
Whoever abstracts in diabase works with a material that takes every thought seriously. A cut stays a cut, a curve is a decision. The surface is often divided into zones: polished, ground, left rough. That creates small tensions that steer the eye. The fine grain of the rock makes even rougher passages look velvety.

Placement and care
Position the sculpture so that raking light falls on it, and the edges draw themselves as if in chalk. A light floor sets off the dark. Consider the weight and ask about fixing and plinth. Care is simple: water, a soft rag, drying. Light plaster or a wooden shelf in a warm tone takes some of the severity away without weakening the form. Note weight and dimensions before settling on a spot.
