Learn More About This Species

A highly specialized, sustainable, eco-friendly alternative to traditional petroleum-based resins. Formulated with plant-based, bio-derived and waste-stream materials, it contains more than 30% renewable content. Material sources include soy, pine, or cashew nut shell liquids. Jewelry-grade bio-epoxy offers high clarity, low toxicity, and excellent durability, making it a preferred choice for crafting sustainable heritage quality art, while reducing reliance on petroleum-based products. VOC free. Crystal-clear finish with a high-gloss, glass-like sheen. Superior non-yellowing (UV resistant) properties, tensile strength, adhesive properties, and impact resistance, compared to traditional petroleum-based epoxies. Includes HALS (Hindered Amine Light Stabilizers) to prevent yellowing. Waterproof.

Bio-epoxy is seen as a preservation and amplification binder for the properties of the natural elements it's bonded to. It acts as a 'lock' holding these energies steady, while preserving and grounding them.

A ductile metallic element (atomic number 41) that belongs to transition metals, and is classified as a refractory metal. Highly valued for its hypoallergenic properties, extreme corrosion resistance, high melting point, and superconductivity at cryogenic temperatures.

While predominantly an industrial metal, its almost magic ability to change color via electricity has aligned niobium with transformation, adaptability and protection of personal energy.

A highly versatile transition metal known for its excellent electrical/thermal conductivity and antibacterial properties. Copper is hypoallergenic, unless a nickel alloy has been added. It can turn skin green, which is completely harmless, if not unusual. One of the few metals that forms in a directly usable form, copper's use dates back over 10,000 years. An extremely ductile metal that can form long wires without breaking, with an electric conductivity second only to silver. Copper's appearance changes over time from exposure, which varies in color, called patina (verdigris).

An amplifier and conductor of energy, often used in holistic and metaphysical care, channeling energy to where it is most needed. Believed to balance the chakras, alleviate join pain from arthritis and joint pain and improve circulation. Used to combat lethargy, restlessness and anxiety.
