Large Multicolor Geode Mandala

This is a stained glass-on-glass mosaic art piece that incorporates 500+ hand cut stained glass rectangles with hundreds of Czech glass and healing stone beads. Some viewers love the piece because they love circles, others due to a love of mandalas, and others due to their love of the healing qualities of geodes/agates. The piece lights up beautifully in sunlight and the beads sparkle when hit by direct light. The stained glass also forms stunning colorful reflections when hit by bright direct light.

Dimensions: Height 24" x Length 20" x Depth 1"

HIGHLIGHTS: multiple shades of purple, pink, yellow, orange and lime green stained glass rectangles, hand cut in hundreds of rectangles and placed in circular waves.

As centerpieces to the mandalas are five geode slices, two of them featuring druzy crystal centers.

Healing properties:

*Amethysts are a natural tranquilizer, helping to relieve stress, soothe irritability, balance mood swings, and dispel anger, rage, fear and anxiety. Amethysts can help alleviate sadness and grief, and dissolve negativity, while also activating spiritual awareness, opening intuition and enhancing psychic abilities.

*Carnelian is a stabilizing stone that helps restore your vitality and motivation, while also stimulating your creativity. Carnelians can help inspire courage, promote positive life choices, dispel apathy and motivate for success. It's also a stone that is useful for overcoming abuse of any kind, helping you in trusting yourself and your perceptions.

*Jade is a protective stone, keeping the wearer from harm and bringing harmony. Jade can help stabilize one's personality, promoting self sufficiency, soothing the mind and helping one to release negative thoughts. Jade can also help a person attract good luck and friendship.

*Agates help to eliminate and transform negativity, while enhancing mental function, concentration, perception and analytical abilities. Agates can be soothing and calming, helping to heal inner anger/tension while creating a sense of security and safety. Geode agates are grounding and balancing stones, harmonizing yin yang energy with their soothing and calming vibrations. Their multiple layers of different mineral inclusions can help bring hidden information to light.

Although stained glass mosaics resemble traditional stained glass, sanded grout is used in mosaics rather than lead, to connect the glass pieces. This, then, allows the viewer to enjoy stained glass without the concern of lead exposure.

DISPLAY: Because this design features translucent glass, it can be hung both transparent in a window or opaque on a wall.
