Deep blue, bright sparks
Deep blue gives the Crystal Pouch for Strength and Resilience its rich, velvety-looking character. Visible folds soften the pouch’s outline, while the open mouth holds a pool of shadow. Against that darkness, the pieces catch bright reflections, their colours distinct rather than blended. The set includes Pyrite, Black Onyx, Bloodstone, Red Jasper, Hematite and Red Tiger Eye.
Dark green carries orange-red flecks, while reddish brown, black and grey-black deepen the palette. A brighter orange-red piece is marked with cream and grey. Their smooth, glossy surfaces contrast with the uneven, pitted-looking piece at the opening, where gold-coloured, silver-coloured and dark patches mingle.
Seen as a little luminous cavern, the deep blue becomes an imagined night around these flashes of colour. The name invites a personal reflection on resilience: different textures holding their own, from the smoothly shining surfaces to that irregular glint at the shadowed opening.
