"That we find a crystal or a poppy beautiful means that we are less alone, the we are more deeply inserted into existence than the course of a single life would lead us to believe."
- John Berger
ABOUT THE CRYSTAL:

     Created in Austria by a process patented by Daniel Swarovski in the early 19th century using hydroelectricity, the bicone beads most people associte with the name were inspired by the northern lights. While collaborating in the 1950's with designer Christian Dior, Swarovski created the Aurora Borealis effect with the crystals.
ABOUT THE COLOR: 
     
     In some cultures, green has traditionally been used to symbolize nature and embody its attributes, namely those of life, fertility, and rebirth. Green was also symbolic of resurrection and immortality in Ancient Egypt. Green is known to be the most restful color for the human eye and is said to have great healing powers.
