About the Item

BLING BOX 1 Studio Greytak’s Bling Box 1 draws from the power of place to inspire creative expression. Gold leaf contours a piece of wood from John Greytak’s own Bearmouth ranch and brings each ripple and edge into sharp focus. A bed of emerald-green malachite cushions this one-of-a-kind landscape, while a spill of brilliant Herkimer diamonds, themselves a product of a single location on earth, reflect the vivid colors around them. Inside the banded pink rhodochrosite box, grounded by a maple burl base, a host of gems from around the world form a colorful horizon. Topaz, the stone of truth, jadeite, a stone of resurrection, sensual garnet, fiery rhodolite garnet, playful fluorite, and tourmaline, the gem of rainbows combine with the hard to find rhodonite and the prismatic mystic quartz in a stunning display. Soothing agate from the ancient Sierra Madre mountains in Mexico takes center stage, both grounding the soul and pointing toward the heights of creative expression. Mined from the Ural Mountains in the 19th century, Russian malachite was highly prized throughout Europe. Today the most beautiful malachite comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo where it's brilliant green continues to delight gem lovers around the world. Malachite is one of the strongest stones for protection against negative energy. It also enhances willpower and strengthens our ability to take action on our thoughts and ideas. Malachite carries the frequency of the enlightened leader and reminds us of our power to manifest with the Universe. Herkimer diamonds emerge from the ground in Herkimer County, New York, as though ancient craftsmen already spent hours shaping them. Eighteen natural facets catch and reflect light with diamond-like intensity, six forming a central body and six on each end that narrow to a point. The double points make Herkimer diamonds the most powerful of all the quartz crystals. With one end as a receiver and the other a transmitter of spiritual energies, this form of rock crystal is a natural amplifier. As the Stone of Attunement, it allows one to focus and develop greater insight on people, environments, and one’s own inner being. Thought to have been produced by the collision of stars, gold is present in the dust from which the solar system was formed. Energetically, gold still represents the sun, its radiance symbolizing the heavenly realms. The gold leafing in this piece stimulates passion, creativity, and sexuality while helping one grow and stretch to new limits. The rhodochrosite box loosens those restrictive bonds and surrounds the soul with gentle, joyous, unconditional love. The maple burl base brings strength and endurance, and a level of victory over adversity. Inside the box, topaz brings luck and good fortune, including wealth and greater understanding. Jadeite provides access to the spiritual world, especially through dreams. A piece kept near the bedside will encourage dreams with solutions for real-world problems and help induce lucid dreaming. Colorful tourmaline brings a compelling, magnetic, and playful energy. It is a receptive stone, promoting self-reflection and connection with others. And the sacred stone, rhodolite garnet glows with power and vitality. Garnet brings a banked fire, burning steadily but under control. These sensual stones represent the primordial fire from which the world was created. Regenerative energy flows, strengthening and protecting the spirit and bringing hope to souls in darkness. Fluorite gives form and structure to energies, ideas, and concepts to help them to manifest in three-dimensional reality. It also provides strong protection against psychic manipulation and electromagnetic stress. Rhodonite, which is found in only a handful of mines around the world, brings forgiveness of self and others, and complete acceptance. For those who have been burned by love, rhodonite is a balm to the spirit, and for those in a relationship, it keeps communication channels open. Mystic quartz sparkles with the full spectrum of the rainbow. It begins as a clear quartz specially selected for its brilliance and clarity. Then, through a complex process, vaporized titanium bonds to the surface of the quartz heated up and held in a vacuum. The titanium layer, just a few molecules in thickness, alters the angle of light passing through the stone creating a prismatic color effect. Mystic quartz is a stone of light providing a clear path for higher vibrations from spiritual realms to the physical world. The Sierra Madre agate from central Mexico vibrates at a slow frequency. Its calming energy grounds the emotions and instills peace. It is also a stone of meditation and spiritual transformation. Sierra Madre agates inspire trust in one’s own intuition. Place this piece where it can absorb and reflect the inspirational energy of its surroundings.
