l'aquart Surprise Egg
Today, we are not used to waiting for anything anymore; if we need something then we look online and it’s shipped within minutes and we don’t even have to move from our homes. We are forgetting that most important things in life were created and evolved in long periods of time.
As an example, let’s think about mother nature's evolution cycles and imagine how minerals and crystals were formed in hundreds or even thousands of years. They are probably the oldest beings on our planet; imagine what they have been through in order to come out as beautiful and perfect or imperfect as we find them.
The purpose of creating this Surprise Egg is to create awareness about the importance of old traditions, disciplines and techniques (such as gemstone carving art) which many times are becoming extinct. It is an offering to nature, to show how grateful and respectful we are for providing us with such unique materials and a reminder of family values and traditions that keeps us together, a reminder that most beautiful things in life take time in being conceived.
