TOM

Hi! I'm Tom Struble.

My love for carving quartz crystal comes from over 30 years experience as a lapidarian, combined with a long time interest in metaphysics, with training and apprenticeship under Frank Dorland. A world-renowned art conservator and biocrystallographer, Dorland is best known for his research of the Mitchell-Hedges Crystal Skull from 1964-1970 and for his handcarved Dorland Crystals. I was fortunate to have met Frank and as a result, offer my work,carved in the same style. In March of 1991, he referred to my crystal carvings as true
"Dorland Working Crystals."

Each of us, by now is aware that we are more than mere bodies composed of flesh and blood: that we each possess energies, thoughts, and feelings which together comprise what some of us refer to as the subconscious; others the soul; still others as our spiritual or "higher" selves. No matter what we call it, this "other than body" part of us determines our lives, makes us who we are, and who we will become. It deserves our attention, our love, and whatever effort it may take to develop it in order to be the best we can be; to enrich our lives; to be of service to others; to be more than just bodies occupying space on this earth.

Crystals have long been associated with the "New Age". What is this "New Age"? Simply put, it is a new consciousness. I believe this new consciousness taps into and parallels the ancient ways. It is a rebirth of ancient teachings instilled in our genes, born into our subconscious.

I carve crystals into rounded shapes with flowing lines and smooth, polished surfaces, from the finest quartz crystal available. Just as satellite dishes are rounded for maximum broadcast efficiency, so my crystals are rounded to provide for optimum reception and transmission of energy.

It is with great pleasure that I bring you my work, an effort of love. When you purchase one of my pieces, the crystal will take on its own unique "personality" as you endow it with your energy. When used properly, my handcarved quartz crystals can be used to improve the quality of your everyday life, and enhance the journey toward personal and spiritual fulfillment. Sincerely, Tom
