Featured Crystal – Gem Kyanite, Central Australia
My “love affair” with Kyanite first began almost 15 years ago when I was visiting the Harts Ranges in central Australia with a gem club.

Crystal Art
The recent “Crystal Creatures” art/photography adventure brings together my childhood passion for art and life-long journey with the mineral kingdom. These artworks feature photography gleaned from various sources including crystals I have picked up on my travels, blended together digitally in black and white and then in some cases re-tinted with colours.

On a trip passing through this region some years ago, I was fortunate to visit a popular Amethyst collecting location, known for it’s well-formed Amethyst crystals.
