The Chakra designs show the distinct, individual pattern found in each carved gem while showcasing the amazing colors so prized in gemstones. The unique combination of patterns and color help to reveal meditative qualities inherent in the gems and the imagery.
Each of the pieces in this series is a specific color study. These colors reflect the idea of the body's chakras, as understood in the practice of yoga. We are presenting the seven colors associated with the chakras, as well an image inspired by the idea of Nirvana, and two versions of a rainbow.
All products are available in your choice of the nine designs (« at left).

Fine Art Photographs
These 16" x 20" museum quality photographs are printed with either a standard finish on regular photographic paper or a superior finish on metallic photographic paper. The metallic paper is only slightly more expensive and gives an almost 3D quality to the images. Each photograph is 16" x 20" and has no border. We suggest that you frame them as you would a high-quality art piece and include a mat since it's detrimental for a photograph to be touching the glass when framed. These prints can be ordered separately or as a collection. All of the archival, museum quality photographs are shipped directly from our printer who's located in the U.S.A.
You will find, integrated into the bottom of these images, a strip of solid color (coordinating with the photo) that contains the title of the piece, the type of stone carved, the name of the carver, and the name of the photographer. The text is placed so that you can mat the photograph either to show this information or to cover it up. The rainbow design is also available as a fine art print or Chromaluxe panel, though isn't pictured here.
Chromaluxe Photo Panels
The Chromaluxe panels are printed to exacting standards using the latest in Dye Sublimation printing technology, leading to a beautiful, durable and long-lasting full color photographic quality image. These are shipped from our printer locacted in Illinois, in the U.S.A.
