    The number 37 in numerology adds up to the number 10 and a 10 is a new beginning. If you’ve made it to your 37th wedding anniversary then you will be happy to know that you have arrived at a new beginning! So many years, so much learned, you can now go on to relax into the deep familiarity and comfort you have created with each other.

    The number 3 is about relationship. One and one is two but together they add up to more than just each other, they are more than the sum of their parts. Which explains why the number three represents relationship. The number 7 is about magic. So when the numbers 3 and 7 add up they are not only about new beginnings, they are about beginning anew in magical relationship ! In a way, this 37 is the year of the newly wed! All the relationship difficulties that all couples go through in terms of learning about themselves and each other and themselves in relation to each other are under your belt. It is said that mastery requires 10,000 hours of work. In a work environment 10,000 hours equals one year! 37 years is well on your way to quadruple mastery in your marriage!

    Alabaster Rose – the “Golden-Pink Sunset Rose”

    "Golden-Pink Sunset Rose"

    "Golden-Pink Sunset Rose"

    Alabaster is the only material on the planet that truly describes Roses that look like they’re blowing in the wind. In no other stone can you find reflected the softness, color and translucency of a Rose.  In my thirty-three years as a professional Alabaster carver, I have carved nineteen Alabaster Roses.   People do walk up to smell them! Alabaster and Rose are a perfect match of material and form.  This “Golden-Pink Sunset Rose” is the newest, the most technically extreme of them all and is carved from the very rarest of translucent pink and green Alabasters.

    The “Golden-Pink Sunset Rose” will debut and be showcased at the Tucson Gem and Mineral Club Show in Tucson, Arizona from February 12th to 15th at the Tucson Convention Center.

    Dimensionally this piece is  20″ High X 14″ Wide X 12″ Deep.  It is priced at $150,000.00.  It must be hand delivered.

    'DIVINE ILLUMINATION'

    When these  handcarved large Alabaster bowls are lit they transcend their form and become ‘Divine Illumined Beings’.  Their peaceful and powerful presence is undeniable.  A sense of wonder dances about them.  Questions arise about their true origins.  Like celestial beings, they carry messages that speak to us about our most profound questions.  They speak of beauty, majesty and mystery.

    Where did they come from?   Materially, they are the evaporate of ancient inland seas, they are petrified water, carved.   How did these luminous bowls come into being?  Through the intention, vision and hands of a master who is willing to persevere through extreme challenge carving to achieve and reveal the essence of the stone.  Only remarkable love, passion and dedication can meet this task.   Continue reading »
