Spiral Touchstone Bracelet · Hackmanite · Black Obsidian · Black Tourmaline

Stone Notes

Hackmanite
A sulfur-bearing variety of sodalite known for reversible color change when exposed to ultraviolet light.
Its response records interaction rather than permanence, appearing and receding over time.
Hackmanite favors truth that is encountered rather than possessed.

Black Obsidian
A naturally occurring volcanic glass formed through rapid cooling of molten material.
Its surface reflects without embellishment, offering no interpretation beyond what is present.
Black obsidian supports clear seeing without distortion.

Black Tourmaline
A boron silicate mineral with a dense crystalline structure formed under sustained geological pressure.
It absorbs and redistributes excess charge rather than amplifying it.
Black tourmaline introduces containment that allows revelation to remain grounded.

Form

The bracelet is constructed with 49 large-format beads arranged along stainless-steel German spiral memory wire, establishing a steady, contained rhythm.
The alternating sequence balances responsiveness with stability, inviting return rather than escalation.

A small ultraviolet light accompanies this piece as an invitation, allowing the stones to reveal aspects not visible under ordinary conditions.

Maker’s Note

This piece was made to honor what appears, what recedes, and what remains steady beneath both.
Nothing here needs to be fixed in place.

Grounded Fire

Spiral Touchstone Bracelet · Tourmalinated Quartz · Carnelian · Black Tourmaline

Stone Notes

Tourmalinated Quartz
A naturally occurring quartz interwoven with black tourmaline inclusions formed through slow crystallization under pressure.
The structure allows conductivity and containment to exist simultaneously.
This stone favors clarity that does not abandon boundaries.

Carnelian
A translucent chalcedony colored by iron oxide, formed through gradual mineral saturation.
Its warmth arises from depth rather than brightness.
Carnelian supports sustained vitality without agitation.

Black Tourmaline
A boron silicate mineral known for its dense crystalline structure and grounding properties.
It absorbs and redistributes excess charge rather than amplifying it.
Black tourmaline introduces steadiness that remains responsive.

Form

The pattern repeats along stainless-steel German spiral memory wire using 10mm beads, establishing a consistent tactile cadence.
The spiral construction allows the bracelet to return naturally to form, reinforcing containment and continuity.

Maker’s Note

This piece was made to support energy that is meant to last.
Nothing here needs to rush.

Unfolding Light

Spiral Touchstone Bracelet · Rainbow Obsidian · Inclusion-Rich Amethyst Quartz (Super Seven) · Tourmalinated Quartz

Stone Notes

Rainbow Obsidian
A volcanic glass formed through rapid cooling of silica-rich lava, containing microscopic layers that refract light into subtle bands of color.
Its depth is revealed only through movement and angle, never all at once.
Rainbow obsidian holds truth that remains grounded, offering clarity without exposure.

Inclusion-Rich Amethyst Quartz (Super Seven)
A naturally occurring quartz containing multiple mineral inclusions formed through overlapping geological events.
Distinct materials coexist within a single crystalline structure, retaining their differences without collapse.
This stone reflects integration that does not rush toward resolution.

Tourmalinated Quartz
Clear & milky quartz crystallized alongside tourmaline, recording interruption and convergence within a single matrix.
Light and shadow develop together here, neither erased nor emphasized.
It anchors illumination in what is held, not what is avoided.

Form

The pattern repeats along stainless-steel German spiral memory wire, moving between opacity, complexity, and transparency.
The bracelet returns naturally to the wrist, allowing presence to do its work over time.

Maker’s Note

This piece was made for light that does not arrive all at once.
It unfolds through patience, attention, and lived experience.

Stillpoint

Spiral Touchstone Bracelet · Labradorite · Tourmaline-Dominant Tourmalinated Quartz · Black Tourmaline

Stone Notes

Labradorite
A feldspar mineral formed in igneous environments, known for labradorescence created by internal lamellar structures.
Its muted flashes appear only at certain angles, revealing light without announcing it.
Labradorite here favors patience over spectacle.

Tourmaline-Dominant Tourmalinated Quartz
Clear quartz crystallized with a high concentration of embedded tourmaline, shifting the balance toward filtration rather than amplification.
Light is softened as it passes through, shaped by what it encounters.
This stone holds clarity that remains embodied and contained.

Black Tourmaline (Schorl)
An iron-rich borosilicate formed under pressure, commonly found in granitic and metamorphic rock.
Dense and grounding, it establishes boundary and weight.
Here it anchors the spiral, giving the piece its center of gravity.

Capstones are black tourmaline, marking entry and completion with restraint.

Form

The pattern repeats along stainless-steel German spiral memory wire, moving between subtle illumination and grounding density.
The bracelet returns naturally to the wrist, reinforcing steadiness rather than momentum.

Maker’s Note

This piece was made for slowing down.
What it offers appears only with time and attention.

Unforced Goodness

Spiral Touchstone · Kunzite · Hackmanite · Inclusion-Rich Amethyst Quartz (Super Seven)

Stone Notes

Kunzite
A lithium-bearing variety of spodumene formed in pegmatitic environments, often displaying pale pink to violet hues.
Under ultraviolet light, kunzite can reveal a soft fluorescence not visible in ordinary conditions.
Its presence favors gentleness and responsiveness rather than intensity.

Hackmanite
A rare sulfur-bearing variety of sodalite known for its reversible color change when exposed to ultraviolet light.
Hackmanite changes color under ultraviolet light and slowly returns to its original state.
Its presence suggests adaptability without urgency.

Inclusion-Rich Amethyst Quartz (Super Seven)
A naturally occurring quartz containing multiple mineral inclusions formed through overlapping geological events.
Distinct elements coexist within a single matrix without collapsing into sameness.
This stone reflects coherence that emerges through inclusion rather than force.

Form

The bracelet follows a repeating sequence of kunzite, hackmanite, and inclusion-rich quartz set on German stainless steel spiral memory wire.

Larger 10 mm stones create a slower visual and tactile rhythm than our standard pieces, encouraging a steady point of attention.

The spiral returns naturally to the wrist without clasps or adjustment, a form that holds through tension rather than force.

Under certain lighting conditions, particularly sunlight or ultraviolet light, the kunzite and hackmanite may display a subtle luminescence. The effect is quiet and brief, more like moonlight than flame.

Maker’s Note

This piece was shaped through moonlight and slow looking.

Each stone was chosen for how it reveals itself over time. Kunzite carries a soft, moon-like glow. Hackmanite answers light with a brighter shifting fire. Inclusion-rich quartz holds small, self-contained worlds within its crystal body.

The title Unforced Goodness reflects that quality of gradual revealing.
Some forms of beauty do not insist on attention. They simply remain long enough to be noticed.

Materials & Construction

Stones: Kunzite, Hackmanite, Super Seven
Bead Size: 10 mm (larger than our standard 8 mm designs)
Bead Count: ~52–54 stones
Wire: German stainless steel spiral memory wire
Fit: Flexible spiral design that returns naturally to form without clasps

Hackmanite and kunzite in this bracelet respond differently to ultraviolet light. Kunzite releases a soft, moon-like glow, while hackmanite answers with a brighter shifting fire before gradually returning to its resting tone.

The change is brief and easy to miss, rewarding those who slow down enough to notice.

Custom Touchstone — Rare Stone Edition

$145

Rare Stone Touchstones are custom-crafted spiral bracelets created through ongoing curation and careful sourcing of exceptional materials. Alongside high-grade stones I work with regularly, these pieces may incorporate rarer finds—stones selected not for novelty, but for their integrity, durability, and capacity to be lived with over time.

Materials may include boulder opal, AAA-grade malachite, inclusion-rich Super Seven, Guatemalan jade, rutilated quartz, and other uncommon stones encountered through continual sourcing. Each is thoughtfully balanced with complementary stones to create coherence, longevity, and daily wearability.

Each bracelet is created as a touchstone: a tangible companion designed for attentiveness, grounding, and integration. These pieces are not made for display or effect, but for steady presence and repeated, ordinary wear.

Stone selection and patterning are guided by contemplative listening to your intake responses rather than formula or trend. Because of the materials involved—and the nature of the process—each bracelet is singular and produced in limited quantity.

How This Touchstone Is Crafted

• Handcrafted using German stainless-steel spiral memory wire for strength, durability, and a consistent fit

• Approximately 85–92 8mm beads, comparable to the bead count of a traditional beaded necklace

• Higher stone count allows for nuanced balance, visual rhythm, and a substantial feel on the wrist

• Stones are arranged to honor natural variation, internal patterning, and interaction with light

• No two bracelets are identical

This approach allows the bracelet to function as a durable, wearable touchstone—designed to be lived with rather than set aside.

The Customization Process

After purchase, you’ll be invited to complete a short intake form. This helps me attend carefully to:

• your current season of life

• the quality or orientation you wish to cultivate

• relevant self-understanding (including Enneagram, if known)

• spiritual or contemplative practices that shape your inner life

• aesthetic or material resonances

If clarification is needed—or if a different stone tier would better support your request—I’ll reach out before beginning the work.

Optional Phone-Based Intake

If you prefer to share your reflections through a brief phone conversation rather than a written form, you may select this option during intake.

Phone-based intake: + $20

What to Expect
