Gneiss Things

Seems to be a blip though…
All back to normal already

Again and again
The decency of the man
Clear as crystal

We haven’t made carved seals for sale previously, but we continue in house development.

Slow carved Ancient Hebridean Quartz Rich in Olivine and some flecks of Jasper. Carved this winter in the Outer Islands.

This is a fabulous piece of rare Hebridean quartz with a suite of beautiful minerals embedded.
Maybe a keeper this..
A real privilege to #carve

It is a pendant..
Made from Hebridean jasper with an olivine band running through it.
With a toggle fastening at the back.
It is jewelry I suppose.
More like a talisman through.

Spiritually connecting to #nature
Isn’t an optional extra -
It’s a biological necessity.

We can’t always be #outside,
removed from industrial society
In the #OuterHebrides

But we can carry nature with us

At #GneissThings we help thousands of people remain grounded through this age of extinction.
