Orange River Quartz - The Recognition
Not everything that belongs arrives according to plan.
Orange River Quartz certainly didn’t.
By the time this piece found me, Earth & Ember already had its shape. I knew what belonged here and, more importantly, why.
And then I saw this.
One piece.
Completely unplanned.
Immediately right.
Orange River Quartz brings together the clarity and amplification associated with Quartz with the grounding, steadying quality of Hematite.
A combination that feels particularly suited to those moments when we already sense the answer but need enough stillness to trust it.
I reach for this when I have begun questioning something I knew before I started analysing it.
When instinct has become buried beneath evidence, explanations and the endless need to make myself certain.
Because intuition rarely arrives as a fully formed argument.
More often than not it is simply recognition.
A pull.
A quiet yes.
Autumn feels like an appropriate season to leave room for that kind of knowing. The natural world begins responding to subtle changes long before the full turn of the season is visible.
I see it as an invitation for us to do the same.
To recognise what is changing.
What is calling us.
What belongs.
And to let the explanation arrive later.
Sometimes belonging is recognised before it is understood.
***
There is only one of these in the collection. I hadn't intended to include Orange River Quartz at all but apparently it had other ideas.
