Skystones, “found objects” originating from Arizona’s deserts, unveil their true splendor when fractured or polished. Identifying these semi-precious minerals in their unprocessed state is the primary objective of their discovery. These stones undergo a series of treatments, including manual cleaning, immersion in natural acids, shaping, and polishing to achieve optimal brilliance. Cactus juice is employed to harden the softer stones, resulting in each stone’s final form being a modification of its original. Beyond their intricate carvings, the pursuit of these stones is an extraordinary and even perilous endeavor, each possessing its own unique narrative waiting to be unraveled.
