Art style: Cinematic Neo-Noir.
Extreme close-up of a blackened, cracked lump of charcoal resting on a smooth dark stone surface. Dramatic hard side lighting rakes across the object, revealing every rough fissure, flaked edge, and burnt, brittle texture. The background dissolves into deep shadow, isolating the lump completely. Composition is macro, eye-level, with shallow depth of field. Mood is mysterious and intriguing. Dominant palette of deep charcoal black, ashen gray, and warm amber highlights along the cracked ridges.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image entirely in "Cinematic Neo-Noir" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Cinematic Neo-Noir". Keep the subject, composition, camera angle, lighting direction, and colour palette from the description above — but EVERY surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in the "Cinematic Neo-Noir" idiom, not in any other medium.
