Cubic Clusters

Take a look at the collection

Beautiful clusters of cubic crystals occur in nature e.g. pyrite or halite.

These natural cubes are respectively too heavy or too unstable to be worn on the hand, making them in my beloved aluminum was the obvious choice.

Over the past few years I developed several surface treatments. By careful immersion in appropriately diluted acids the aluminum rings can be turned to a salt, grey or nearly black color. Furthermore the acids sometimes give the metal a stony appearance, which can be fascinating.
