Monolith Among Violet Crystal Shards in Void

Tags
A black monolith floats above a shattered plain of violet crystals, centered and immovable with a solemn, enigmatic presence for a cinematic scene in 16:9 format. The crystal shards ring the base of the monolith and pulse with neon cyan and magenta veins, each facet catching and refracting the #00FFD1 cyan and #FF4DFF magenta glow to make the violet planes shimmer. The air is cool and still with a faint mist that softens distant edges and allows the glowing shards to halo the monolith with a subtle veil. Surfaces are tactile and crystalline with hard, glassy facets on shards and a smooth, matte stone texture on the monolith, and close surfaces show micro-scratches that read like fine abstract lines. The closest shard edges resolve in sharp detail while planes behind the monolith recede into gentle haze, creating moderate layered depth. The framing stays strictly within a 16:9 widescreen crop, with a slightly low eye height and medium-tight framing that keeps the monolith dominant but leaves balanced negative space at the top for mood. One broken ceremonial band and a small metallic talisman rest among the shards as story cues, each catching a sliver of cyan light to imply past presence. Render with a mixed digital-paint and photoreal finish, emphasizing crisp crystalline reflections, soft environmental glow, and saturated violet and cyan color bias for an otherworldly, cinematic result.
