Dendritic Quartz is mined in Utah.
When moisture and iron mix, the result is oxidation, better known as rust. Oxidation is an every day occurrence. It even happens in gemstones. Traces of moisture and iron or manganese are trapped inside quartz, which produced stains resembling trees or branches called dendrites. The stains are found in microscopic fissures that cause them to branch out like tree limbs or fern like inclusions. Of course in nature no two things are alike, making each gem one of a kind. Quartz can have inclusions of other minerals also including, chrysocolla, azurite, malachite, chlorite or goethite. These inclusions have the ability to tint their host red, orange, yellow, green, blue and black. Dendrites can occur in other gems as well, including opal and beryl.
We collect our dendritic quartz in Utah. You will also see a stone oil lamp that we made using this same stone. Super cool!
The Healing Properties:
The word Dendrite comes from the Greek word ̢It assists us to more fully connect with information and understandings of our personal and planetary evolution. This information can then be integrated and acted upon for the good of all as we experience the current earth changes. Quartz brings clarity, is a is a wonderful friend in meditation.
This is what we do...
With environmental consciousness in mind, our fabrics are all printed using completely water-based inks. This means no chemicals or solvents are used. We transfer those images onto luxurious fabric using ecologically safe transfer sublimation inks that provide vibrant color. The printing process uses no water and uses non-toxic bio-degradable inks. Our heat fixing procedure fixes the colors and prints, avoiding the downsides of steaming, such as excess or contaminated water returning into the waste system. The textile industry is rife with sustainability problems: from the use of toxic inks and wasteful practices for materials and water, to a race to utilize the cheapest materials such as vinyl—no matter the environmental impact. Our print-on-demand process is designed to minimize fabric and ink waste. Reducing the use of materials, energy and water by choosing a pigment printing process instead of reactive dye.
Making use of stone that we personally collect, cut and polish to a mirror finish, coupled with high powered lenses, we transport the viewer into a microscopic world, far beyond what the naked eye perceives. The diversity, originality and beauty of what is revealed defy description. Those images are then transferred onto a variety of mediums. Consider textiles that are transformed into decor including decorative pillows, bedding, table linens, for both home and commercial use. And fabrics for the fashion world. GEO originals has opened the door to a realm of beauty crossing all genres with endless applications.
Choose your favorite(s) images, choose your fabric and let us know how many yards! We will also provide additional custom order fabrics upon request (please contact GEO originals).
