With the use of several types of crystals, rocks, and minerals, these stunning sculptural pieces are made. Created by Mexico-City based Sten Studio, the sculptures are part of a series called ‘Cosmic Relics’, and vary by type of stone, carved and turned shapes, and the natural color of the minerals themselves.
Long known to possess energies, stone relics have been collected for millennia. Combining them in this artistic fashion hearkens back to a different spiritual time, while also echoing some of the themes popular today.
The various pieces include carved relics made from lava stone, pink onyx, blue calcite, travertine marble, brown onyx, fluorite, golden Calacatta marble, pineapple onyx, and stainless steel.

‘In a realm where observing the universe unites us as a global society, “Cosmic Relics” engages with the mysteries of space and the cultural legacy of totemism. Totems symbolize connections with the paranormal; they are often seen as spirit guardians or ancestors, and they signify a sense of belonging within a group.
Numerous cultures attribute divine meanings to specific cosmic phenomena and supernatural events, viewing planetary alignments as profound, transformative moments. This is what inspires the “Cosmic Relics” totem collection. Each towering piece symbolizes the unity and collective identity of our societies, and reminds us of the value of nurturing our communal spirit.’
