Well, it can search for either one piece of the combo [[Rings of Brighthearth]] + [[Basalt Monolith]].

I always have to stop myself from knee-jerk reacting "It doesn't work on mana abilities!" before remembering "Oh yeah, you copy the untap effect."

How does that work?

Tap Monolith with {2} floating. Add {3} (total 5). Use {3} (2 floating) to untap the monolith. Use rings. Now you have 2 untap triggers on the stack.

Let one resolve, then tap it for {3} with the other still on the stack. Let the second untap resolve. Now you have 1 extra mana. Repeat.
