The Fluorite Pathway

The Fluorite Pathway

So its been a little while since I posted; I've been preparing for AGE this spring, but I thought I'd log in and check
out the new changes to the site. This is a piece I plan on taking to the show. Looking forward to meeting a lot of you
and catching up with some friends!

This hand spun tube stands 14 inches tall. sand blasted with an elk skull at the top and electroformed with fluorite
crystals. According to believes, the stone opens pathways in the brain to the higher dimensions of light. It increases
alertness and mental activity and also helps in grasping complex and abstract concepts. The power of fluorite brings
in objectivity and concise, orderly thoughts, actions and behavior. It encourages truth, understanding and wisdom.
