Kyanite

Kyanite is a stone I love to work with. It is long, thin, fibrous, and striated. Kyanite works on the causal chackra, at the place where spirit enlivens thought. An elevating stone, it can facilitate flow of inspired thinking, and bring us to the next stage of our development.

Hawk Eye Silver Ring

This diamond shape hawk eye ring was a delight to make because it is so smooth and flat. With this shape, the ring makes a bold statement. A slight luminescence to the dark stone adds mystery and depth.
