Set of 7 pieces in Black Tourmaline Brazil A sacred geometry

ENS-PLATTOURN-01

Set of sacred geometries in black tourmaline composed of the 5 Platonic solids, a star tetrahedron and a sphere.
Comes in a linen pouch.

The Platonic solids are named after the Greek philosopher Plato, who theorized that these geometric figures are the fundamental building blocks of our universe.

Thus, they relate to the five elements*:

- Hexahedron: Earth, associated with qualities such as stability, materiality and the physical world.

- Octahedron: Air, associated with qualities such as intellect and communication.

- Tetrahedron: Fire, associated with qualities such as passion, transformation and energy.

- Icosahedron: Water, associated with qualities such as emotions, intuition and adaptability.

- Dodecahedron: ether, associated with the spiritual or divine essence that transcends the material world.

One of the most striking features of the Platonic solids is that each of them is a regular polyhedron. This means that each plane of the polyhedron is an equilateral polygon, and the vertices of the polyhedron are all identical and at the same distance from the center of the polyhedron. When it comes to sacred geometry, it is the universal mathematical properties of the Platonic solids that make them so remarkable—and perhaps even divine.

The Star Tetrahedron, also known as the Merkaba, is a three-dimensional, eight-pointed star. Phonetically, its name goes back to the ancient Egyptian Mer Ka Bah – light, body, and spirit. The top tetrahedron is said to represent masculine energy, while the bottom one represents feminine energy. As such, among other meanings, it is a symbol of perfect balance in all things and is often used to clear blockages from our energy body.

The sphere - without edges, without beginning or end, is the starting point from which all things arise and to which all things return. The Platonic solids all have three concentric spheres: the circumscribed sphere which passes through all the vertices, the central sphere which touches each edge at the center of the edge, and the inscribed sphere which touches each plane at the center of the plane.
