Preparing the playground…
Three studies in coming apart.
Real source. A little tension.
Something new underneath.

Stone, grit and dust follow different paths. A textured mineral study leaves in layers, revealing another surface.

Accessible DOM. Reduced motion. Source included.Copy the listed source files into the two component folders. Text uses the included Instrument Serif and Space Mono font setup. Sediment uses the licensed local raster at /material-wave-a/mineral-study.webp. Scroll starts one complete motion; the inspector pauses at an exact time.
03 / CODE & INSTALLATION
Copy each source file into components/. Keep the filenames and their relative imports together. Then use the example below. Use the runtime and file types listed on this effect’s usage notes. The example uses the common @/ import alias; use a relative import if your project has no alias.
"use client";
import { SedimentReveal } from "@/components/material-effects/material-components";
// Copy the listed files into components/, preserving both subdirectories.
// Use React 19.3, CSS Modules and the font variables below.
// pnpm add @fontsource/instrument-serif@5.3.0 @fontsource/space-mono@5.3.0
// Sediment: copy the licensed local image to public/material-wave-a/ as well.

DISCOVERY NOTE / APPROVED / SOURCE INCLUDED
Sediment Reveal is an image material study: three depth bands follow different paths out of a mineral surface, revealing the next ground underneath.
Copy components/material-effects and components/material-core into your project, preserving both directories.
Copy public/material-wave-a/mineral-study.webp and keep the documented local asset path.
Use SedimentReveal inside the authored scroll lane and test image failure and reduced motion.
Code and the mineral-study WebP are available with this repository under its MIT terms. No stock photograph or reference photograph is used.
