The Art of Crystal Geometry💎📐 We are left speechless once again by the artistry of mother nature. There are so many different natural geometries, structures and colors that have been created by chance on earth. Crystals defy the laws of entropy, organizing atoms into intricate patterns and shapes that inspire human creation. These incredible crystals are on display at Granada Gallery this weekend for the Tucson Gem Show featuring minerals that inspire architecture and design from the Dr. Erika Pohl collection. From round spheres to towering columns, these are the geometries our world is built upon. Which of these natural geometries speaks to you the most? 💠

Making Gallium Crystals!✨ Gallium is absolutely incredible as it turns from solid to liquid to crystal form so easily. You can literally see the geometric crystals form in front of your eyes! This experiment really shows the process of crystal formation and how this material organizes itself into a precise geometry. Although these crystals form in a short amount of time and are temporary, natural crystals form over a long period of time and are more permanent which makes us appreciate them even more!💎❤️
