Platonic Solids & Archimedian Solids

PLEASE NOTE: Pieces are NOT pictured actual size. Actual size is given in millimeters.

These jewels are a joy to hold in the hand and share with others. Use them as altar pieces, for meditation, contemplation, attunement and healing work. The smaller pieces (28 mm and under, as marked) are suitable for pendants. For these pieces, a black satin cord may be added free of charge, upon request. They also look great on a silver or gold chain (however I do not stock chains). The merkabas are awesome spinning on a monofilament cord. I generally have several suspended above my work table as a constant source of inspiration.

Meteorite Merkaba  

Meteorite sphere
Sterling silver and 12k gold-filled Merkaba

This is a specimen from the Gibeon meteorite found in Namibia. The surface is etched, which brings out a fine octahedrite pattern. I was told the spheres I got are likely to be the last ones to be made due to this material becoming more scarce and the amount of material wasted in carving the sphere.

In these pieces, the polyhedra (many-sided forms) have been woven together using fine metal tubes and beading wire. This weaving method gives a different and more feminine energy to my pieces than geometric forms made of solid rods soldered together. Within the tubes is an open channel through which a thread meanders, defining a 3-dimensional labyrinth: a single path, an Ariadne’s thread, flows through the piece. At each vertex point is an open space; the energy circulating through the labyrinth path pools in these open spaces at the intersection of beads. This is the matrix through which the healing message of the stone within emanates.

The labyrinth is a tool for contemplation. It invites you to journey into the center and back out again, like a fruit which contains its own seed. Use your senses of sight, touch and intuition to follow this labyrinth around the surface of a sphere. The body-mind understands even when the conscious mind does not.

These objects are created with love for you. Each one is unique, and has been awakened and energized to transmit its essence for the highest good.

Geometry translates as “measure of the earth”. Sacred geometry is an exploration of certain special relationships, or ratios, which are fundamental to the unfolding and enfolding of matter in space and time. These magical proportions are present in all manifest life, on micro, human and macrocosmic scales.

The Platonic Solids are five very special forms (many-sided or polyhedron) distinguished from all others by their perfection of internal balance and harmony. To contemplate these forms attunes the mind to the plane of eternal harmony known as “the music of the spheres” which is present behind the tumultuous surface of Maya we experience as the everyday world. Connecting with the energy of this plane strengthens the harmonizing force in planetary consciousness. (More information about Platonic Solids.)

Merkaba with rose aventurine  

Rose Aventurine
Sterling silver Merkaba

It doesn't come across in the picture, but this peach-colored stone is carved into a spherical rose. An uncommon stone with lovely energy especially set off by the rose shape

pendant size (28 mm)

Merkaba with pyrite cube  

Pyrite cube
Sterling silver Merkaba

This is just such an awesome piece. The stone formed in nature as a perfect shiny metallic cube, embedded in a matrix of softer stone. The cube perfectly interlocks with the octahedron, the interior shape of the merkaba. As you shift perspectives, the cube appears to take on different shapes with respect to the silver form. Because the pyrite is so shiny, the silver form is reflected for an added level of optical illusion play. Rollover the image to see a different view.

(60 mm)
S-70 $72

 

From the elegant simplicity of the Platonic Solids, more complex forms are created, these are known as Archimedian Solids: cuboctahedron and "Genesa crystal", icosadodecahedron, truncated icodahedron or "Bucky Ball", rhombic dodecahedron or "Earth Star" are some examples of these that I use.

Even if one does not consciously understand the geometrical relationships of these shapes, interacting with them on a visual and tactile level transmits the information to the body-mind directly. As a 2-dimensional picture is but a flattened projection of the 3-dimensional form depicted, so these 3-dimensional forms give us a point of departure to imagine the ever increasing complexity of dimensions through which sacred geometry unfolds.

icosahedron with druzy agate  

Druzy Agate Sphere
Sterling silver Icosahedron

This is such a wacky crystal I just couldn't resist it. On one side it has scatterings of white and yellow spots, reminiscent of a fried egg with the yellow in the inside; on the other side it has a druzy-filled opening resembling a mouth. Roll your mouse over the image to see the other side.
