When we allow the outer shell that we present to the world to break open, what’s inside is exposed. It is a precious, beautiful revelation, full of light and vulnerability, conveyed in 24k gold and crystalline structures. The exterior surface of the geode tells the story of a life as it’s presented to the world. It is colorful, varied, a little haphazard at times and also quite beautiful in its entirety.
