Soul Gem by a Molten Lava Flow - Photoreal

Photorealistic close-up of a soul gem perched at the edge of a glowing lava flow inside a dark volcanic cavern. The gem is a multifaceted crystal containing a swirling inner light that resembles translucent, trapped souls. It radiates pale blue and white hues, contrasting with the molten orange and red lava. Facets show extreme micro-detail and precise reflections, with subtle subsurface scattering revealing inner depth. Steam plumes and ash drift in the hot air, lava reflections glistening on wet basalt walls. The pedestal is a rough, jagged rock; faint runic inscriptions glow softly at the base. Dramatic lighting with high-contrast chiaroscuro: lava’s warm glow illuminates the gem, casting long shadows while the background remains deep and blurred to emphasize the gem’s radiance. Textures include glossy gem surfaces, rough rock, and heat haze from the magma. Camera: macro close-up, shallow depth of field, realistic color grading for a lifelike, cinematic look.
