Rhodonite Free Forms (AA Grade - 3-4 Pieces Per Kilogram) Ethically Sourced from Zimbabwe

Each of our artistic free forms undergoes a meticulous hand-polishing process, ensuring that every piece is expertly crafted to enhance its natural beauty. Collaborating with lapidaries renowned for their environmentally conscious practices, we go the extra mile to minimize our ecological footprint. These lapidaries share our dedication to preserving nature's wonders, while always striving to meet the highest standards of safety and wage equality for their employees. We believe in harnessing the beauty of nature without compromising our planet's well-being. Unlike the vast majority of lapidaries, those we contract work with refrain from using stone sealers or resins in the manufacturing process and do not enhance their materials in any way. This deliberate choice not only highlights the authenticity of our free forms, but also aligns with our environmental values. By working with lapidaries that embrace our shared vision, we ensure that each item is not only responsibly sourced but also handcrafted in a socially conscious manner. This approach not only creates stunning free forms but also fosters a respectful and equitable working environment, benefiting both the artisans and the communities they form part of.

Due to this minimalist approach, some areas of the free form may retain a rougher texture, intentionally left untouched by our skilled artists. The lapidaries and artists we collaborate with possess exceptional talent, often passed down through multiple generations within their family businesses. Though they may not rival mass-produced factory items in terms of quantity, our artisans possess the remarkable ability to achieve surprising accuracy and consistency in their polishing techniques.
While it is impossible to achieve complete uniformity when crafting by hand, a true artist comprehends how to enhance the item's inherent natural features during the polishing process. This is akin to comparing an original, one-of-a-kind painting to reproduction prints - the attention to detail and personal touch make all the difference.
