for Rare and Beautiful Lichtenberg Figures!

Magnificent 2" Thick Two Layer Museum Specimens!

We have a number of huge figures that were created 20 years ago using a 6 MeV pulsed linear accelerator (LINAC). The LINAC has long since been decommissioned. The smallest of these specimens measured 12" x 13.5" x 2" thick, while the largest was over 17" x 17"! They were all irradiated on two sides to create two parallel charge planes, and then carefully discharged. The high energy discharge sounded like a shotgun blast. The interior  plane-to-plane discharges are similar to some of our smaller Style 16 "Windblown Lightning" Figures... but on steroids! And the one pictured below was the SMALLEST one in the group. We still have a few others that we're offering for a limited time.

The custom light bases (included) are solid walnut, beautifully crafted and finished in a natural satin lacquer. Each has a velvet-lined cavity that snugly cradles the specimen. Two rows of LED's illuminate the two charge planes, one row is bright white, while the other row is a brilliant electric blue.  Because of their size and depth, it's difficult to fully capture the detail and beauty of these magnificent specimens.


Although the one of a kind specimen pictured below has already been sold to a lucky collector,
we do have a few other large specimens, some over 17" x 17" x 2". In our June production run, we also plan to create some new 3/4" thick Lichtenberg Figures that will range between 12" x 12" to 24" x 36". If you're interested in obtaining a very special "world class" Lichtenberg Figure, please contact me as soon as possible!

Click here for information on our other huge specimens. We'll be adding new pictures soon. If you are looking for a truly spectacular specimen, please contact me as soon as possible so that I can reserve it for you.  There are only a limited number of these specimens available. The facility that originally created these specimens has long since been decommissioned, so when these are gone, they're gone forever!

Stoneridge Engineering is the premiere source for the world's most beautiful Lichtenberg Figures!
