This set of seven crystal carvings expands the five Platonic solids with two more sacred forms. Sets vary by seller, but it commonly includes the tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, icosahedron, dodecahedron, a sphere, and a merkaba (star tetrahedron). Each is hand shaped from stone, so the set works as a display piece, an altar tool, or a focus for meditation.
In sacred geometry, each of the five Platonic solids is linked to an element. The tetrahedron is fire, representing passion and transformation. The cube is earth, representing stability and grounding. The octahedron is air, representing balance and the heart. The icosahedron is water, representing flow and creativity. The dodecahedron is ether, representing spirit and intuition.
The sphere is the symbol of wholeness, unity, and the infinite, radiating energy evenly in all directions. The merkaba is a star shaped form of two interlocking tetrahedrons, said to represent the union of body and spirit and to act as a vehicle of light for spiritual growth and protection.
Together the seven shapes are said to bring harmony, balance, and a sense of order to a space. They are a lovely way to bring the elements to your altar or desk and to remind you that everything in nature is built from patterns.
