Size: 10" Diameter Inner Mirror: 5" In my studio, bathed in the soft glow of the early morning sun, I felt an undeniable spark of inspiration as I gathered my materials—gemstones of delicate pink rose quartz, patterned rhodochrosite, and my favorite fire-torched, gleaming copper findings. As I crafted the black petals of the sunburst, I imagined creating a flower glowing during an eclipse. Was this a shadow flower? The loving energies of rhodochrosite guided my hands, channeling love and healing into every detail. Each petal, surrounded by polished rose quartz and nestled with copper beads, whispered calm and compassion, inspiring tranquility. Once finished, I admired my work by the studio window. The light caught the copper, creating a gentle glow that enveloped me in positivity. Quiet moments spent in front of it allowed me to transform the worries of our volatile nation into lessons of light, the black petals echoing the delicate balance of shadow and illumination. Visitors who engage with my art leave feeling lighter and more open to love and compassion. In those moments, I understand that my journey on this earth is not just a reflection of my artistry but a profound connection to the universe—a conduit for love, healing, and harmony resonating deep within my soul.
Rhodochrosite: A powerful crystal that resonates with the heart chakra, bringing forth energies of love, compassion, and healing.

This crystal has been used for centuries by healers and metaphysical practitioners to promote self-love and emotional healing. Its gentle yet potent energy helps to release past traumas and emotional blockages, allowing the heart to open up and receive the abundance of love and light that surrounds us. Balances love on all levels, purifies root and sacral chakras.
Rose quartz is known as the stone of love, and it is said to open the heart chakra, promoting love, compassion, and forgiveness. It is a stone that fosters self-love and self-acceptance, enabling one to connect with their innermost feelings and desires. In my art, I use rose quartz to create pieces that inspire healing and emotional balance. The soft pink hues of this crystal are soothing and calming, promoting a sense of peace and tranquility. When I work with rose quartz, I feel a deep connection to the energy of the earth and the universe, and I strive to imbue my art with this same sense of harmony and balance.
