Yes.
The structure is very much like a rope, i.e. a number of strands wound together,
then a number of groups of strands wound together etc.

It's supposed to be copper. I had to do gamma correction, which sort of washed
out the colours.

It's basically a crackle pattern. Doesn't look all that good at a large scale. I
can send you the source if you want.

If it's just a crackle pigment it's not necessary, it somehow looked as if it
were true 3-dimensional stones ...

I was just throwing in words not knowing what they meant. :)
So no possible application for say, a Mega Tesla Coil?

Actually, I think it would be very similar to that of a single torus...

Sure, but not more than with a simple torus of large minor radius.
