I make these shiny objects out of rocks I collect, dichroic glass, and solid glass bricks. It's a really laborious but also meditative process.

Lapidary work is fun and rewarding, but if you decide to give it a try be sure to wear a respirator, silicosis will mess you up.

Ineffably magnificent... no words... indeed... As at the previous Community you posted.
Perhaps, it would be valuable to mention related posts via references, to keep it all connected.
Please do consider creating an online store and shipping these for people who would care about these, and to Europe too if possible!
And... thank you for creating miracles...
