sculptor tobel

amazing german sculptor, you can find his work all around the world.

have a look at his homepage here.

tobel comment on his work:" i like to maintain the stone's strength by only working the inside, leaving the outside in its rough, natural state, it's a way to honor the hundreds of millions of years that the stone has aged. too much polishing destroys the nature of the granite; i like to reveal the stone's secrets."

the magic of moonstone

my last creation is a ring made of gold with a moonstone, one of my favourites stones...

in many cultures, it is regarded as a holy, magical gemstone.

moonstone has been used for centuries, including ancient civilizations. the roman admired moonstone, as they believed it was born from solidified rays of the moon. both the romans and greeks associated this amazing stone with their lunar gods and goddesses.
