Jagged basalt monolith

{
  "shot": "Extreme-wide hero shot of a jagged basalt monolith with fine striations. Its right flank is sheathed in ember-orange sand/lava that cascades in slow sheets. A razor-thin crescent moon hangs just behind the peak. Minimal desert plain; black sky; no stars.",

  "subject": {
    "name": "ember_monolith",
    "geometry": "tall spire with layered, carved ridges; subtle arch at the base",
    "materials": "matte graphite/obsidian with cool steel highlights; flowing ember-sand with incandescent edges",
    "state": "stable rock; slow continuous granular flow on sunward face"

  "scene": {
    "time_of_day": "astronomical dusk",
    "atmosphere": "very dry, faint low-lying haze near ground",
    "environment": "open desert pan with shallow ripples; distant silhouettes only"

  "physics_rules": [
    "granular flow obeys gravity; viscosity low, behaves like hot sand not liquid",

    "no text or UI, no humans, no starscape clutter, no buildings, no lens dirt",
    "composition: monolith left-third; moon tangent to peak; negative space top half",
    "keep minimalism; no additional planets; no aggressive flares or god-rays",
    "final frame holds steady for 0.5s for seamless loop"
