Curatorial Summary
The Circle of Life is a handcrafted copper Tree of Life suncatcher inspired by continuity, growth, and the traditional seven-chakra sequence. Dangling crystal accents add movement, while faceted acrylic elements catch and reflect sunlight throughout the room.

Lithic Analysis
Specimens: Red Jasper, Carnelian, Citrine, Aventurine, Lapis Lazuli, Clear Quartz, and Amethyst.
Composition: A copper-wrapped Tree of Life featuring seven natural stones, dangling crystal accents, and faceted acrylic crystals for light reflection. The piece is approximately 14 inches long. Natural variations in color, pattern, translucency, and surface character make each artifact unique.

Logic
The stones move visually from red through orange, gold, green, blue, clear, and violet. Red Jasper establishes a grounded foundation, while Carnelian and Citrine add warmth and movement. Aventurine introduces renewal through its green color. Lapis Lazuli contributes a deep blue register associated with communication and perspective. Clear Quartz adds transparency, and Amethyst completes the sequence with a reflective violet tone.

Archivist’s Field Notes
Hung near a window, studio, meditation space, or quiet corner, The Circle of Life turns natural light into part of the composition. The circular form reinforces continuity, while the seven-stone arrangement creates a visual passage from grounding to reflection.
