Gaia's Tears
The melting glaciers of our planet fall like Gaia's tears, into the sea.

 

Before faceting, this piece was a 3.75 inch cube. The rotating mirror part of this base is 4 inches in diameter.
  The primary feature of this piece is the partial face in the cliff. From the corner of the eye, a river forms and flows down to the waterfall which splashes into the sea. It's difficult to capture in a photo. The videos are better.

The photographs in the Photo Gallery below were taken in varying light, with and without the lighted base turned on.

The main feature of this carving is the face in the cliff. The tears from the corner of the eye feed the river and waterfall which fall into the sea.
