Artist's Biography

Inner Star Description:
50ct. Star Quartz, 15ct. Star Ruby
Robin’s Egg Turquoise, 20gr. 18k Gold

The turquoise used in this amulet is a rare and natural untreated Arizona turquoise, called “robin’s egg,” for its color.  This particular turquoise also has traces of sliver, and comes from the Sleeping Beauty mine located outside of Globe, Arizona.  It is a high grade, naturally hard turquoise that is difficult to find.  Turquoise is sensitive to electrostatic fields, biorhythms, and the elemental forces of earth, water, and sky.  The color of this turquoise is soothing, and has a calming effect on the emotional and intuitive centers.  Turquoise is a very protective stone that brings wisdom to its wearers, as well as courage and a deeper understanding of nature and the spirituality of the natural world.  In this piece the turquoise makes a good grounding stone, and it works well with the two star stones.

A 15ct. star ruby is set into the turquoise and can be seen on the backside as a concave star, while in the front a convex star can be seen inside the piece.  This allows focused light to pass through from the star quartz lens to the star ruby and then the to the wearer.  The inner chamber is lined in 24k gold leaf, into which the ruby is set.  Then the ruby is sealed into the piece by the star quartz.  Star ruby is called the “heart of the sun.”  It is a stone of spiritual knowing, spiritual power, and gives the wearer the wisdom to use said powers.  It is also the stone of royalty and dignity, of longevity and invulnerability.  Star ruby has the ability to store many different energies in its crystal mass and to release energy in a tuned pulse through the piece and on to the wearer.

The capstone is a 50ct. clear star quartz, a stone long believed to have magical virtues and celestial wisdoms.  It is believed to synchronize the individual to the consciousness of the heavens and brings the energy of the stars into the soul while also aligning the body’s energies, thoughts and consciousness to the greater rhythms to make them available to the wearer.

The six-pointed star depicts creation and is said to be the light of the spiritual, or the inner star.  The planetary sign for the sun is a circle with a center dot, which is also symbolic of the universal spirit and the heart of the sky.  This can be seen on the backside where there is a star ruby heart in a turquoise sky.  At the top where the chain and amulet come together you can see a crucible of gold and turquoise, which is symbolic of the feminine receptive principle.  When used in conjunction with the male force, which is the scarab, what is shown is the symbolic union of the male and female joined at a higher state.
