A one-of-a-kind sculptural object titled "Fractured Vase" by contemporary American artist Mark Leblanc for Leblanc Studios. Hand-carved from richly veined Guatemalan Green marble, this abstract bud vase is a masterclass in organic modernism—its form nodding to the work of Isamu Noguchi with a balance of tension and grace. The artist intentionally preserves visible drill core fractures, inviting a meditation on process and imperfection. A striking interplay between smooth, polished planes and raw, roughly hewn surfaces highlights the natural character of the stone. Sculpted in the USA, circa 2020s. Also known as "Guatemala Verde", Guatemalan Green Marble is a serpentine green marble and from its unique deep green color composition sprout bright white veins that transport us to the landscape of mangroves and tropical jungles. This natural stone pays tribute to the paradisiacal Guatemala, a land with a rich native culture, bathed by both the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean. The serpentine, one of the minerals that compose it, has long been considered magical by some of the indigenous Mayan tribes granting it healing powers and an element of wisdom. For these reasons Guatemala Green Marble has captured the attention of illustrious architects and interior designers.
