Origin*
snowflake obsidian, black tourmaline, peridot, heulandite, cut china; 12" x 10"
“Origin” is "the beginning".
Heulandite is the central focus of the piece and represents our personal search for past lives. It is nestled in a bed of Peridot, which provides energy for the journey. Snowflake Obsidian is a good meditation stone, and is thought to clear the way for meaningful discoveries. The Black Tourmaline is considered a purification stone, and so it clears the way for realization.
As with other works which focus on natural materials, I combine specific stones and crystals to create interesting, visually well-designed pieces that also consider the power and integrity of the materials, for a harmonious whole.
