The Origin
Two sodalite macaws flank a polished amethyst geode slice — a circular cross-section that reveals concentric rings of crystal growth radiating from a dark purple center. The slice looks like a cross-section of the earth itself, with the two blue birds perched at its edge like sentries at the edge of a crater.
This piece has the most lifestyle photography in the collection — shot poolside at sunset, against the South Florida coastline, on stone pedestals with palm trees behind. The sodalite birds take on different character in natural light: cooler and more steel-blue outdoors, deeper indigo in interior lighting.
"When you cut a geode in half, you see sixty million years at once. These birds sit at the edge of time."
