![]() ![]() As I developed my knowledge and skills I was able to create works that traverse the multi-faceted crystal spectrum, giving me the opportunity to work with an array of fascinating people, (and other entities), with diverse interests.Ĭlick on any image below to see an enlarged view. Thus, I learned to combine the mediums of crystals, bronze and light. In the niche at location 8 you will find another glass sphere, a spider key, and the diamond-shaped stone gem that triggers the portal. The niche at location 7 contains a potion of healing, a potion of extrea healing, 2 arrows, a dark moon key and a glass sphere. I found that the regal art of sculpted bronze was the way to go. More secret doors will allow you to discover the southwestern part of the level. But I came to realize the uniqueness of each crystal requires many to be displayed with lighted bases. My initial interest was exclusively carving crystals. At the same time they are collected for their mineralogical rarity and aesthetic beauty. Because of their unique characteristics they are used in electronic components as well as being powerful tools in the hands of healers, meditators and dreamers. The original gateway to ‘getting stoned’. Crystals are some of the densest Earth matter, and yet their bodies are transparent an inorganic life form stamped by mystery, with portals to other realms. I found that they are endowed by Nature with measurable life force, and the capacity to move electromagnetic energy as a result of their piezoelectric properties. I was also intrigued by the esoteric conversations about crystals. So, I set out to design tooling and developed techniques that ultimately led me to create several of the world’s largest gemstone sculptures. I wanted to work with crystals weighed in kilos. When my quest began, the only tooling for working hard gem minerals and crystals was designed by the jewelry industry, for small carat sized faceted stones. My naiveite fueled by enthusiasm allowed me to bypass the conventional ‘wisdom’ of experts who said what I envisioned “can’t be done”. I knew little about these sciences, or the arcane lapidary arts. What started as a fascination lead me on a path through the verdant fields of mineralogy, technology, art, metaphysics and healing. I was first drawn to working with crystals because of their beauty, mystery and mysticism. “The beauty of Nature inspires the heart to pursue the nature of Beauty” ![]()
