    The fascinating “wheel of light” was imagined and invented by Brian and Kendra Cook of Nature’s Geometry. It’s a kaleidoscopic carved stone containing a tiny paraiba tourmaline and an amethyst. It blew my mind. This piece won an AGTA [American Gem Trade Association] Spectrum Award.

    Minerals! I am so inspired by the colors and textures of crystals and gems in their natural forms.
