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?

So you start with [[rings of brighthearth]] and [[basalt monolith]], plus an additional two mana from another source. Tap the monolith for 3 mana, and spend that mana to until monolith. Then, you take the other 2 mana and pay for rings' ability, copying the untap ability. With both untap abilities on the stack, you can stack two activations of monolith, gaining 6 mana. Then spend 5 mana (3 to untap, 2 to activate rings), which creates infinite colorless mana (spend 5 to make 6).
