Trilith

A sculptural ring hand-carved from natural smokey quartz collected in the creeks around Tabulam, New South Wales.

The stone has a warm translucent tone with subtle internal mineral structures suspended within the crystal. Light moves through the quartz, revealing depth and texture formed over long geological time.

Quartz from the Tabulam region forms part of the wider geology of the New England Orogen in northeastern New South Wales. Quartz crystals in this area formed deep underground within granites and pegmatites of the New England Batholith, where mineral-rich fluids slowly crystallised into large quartz formations. Over time, erosion released these crystals into local creek systems where they can still be found today.

The ring features a strong sculptural form with a faceted, flat top that contrasts with the smooth rounded band. The polished surfaces catch the light while the natural character of the quartz remains visible within the stone.

The piece was cut, drilled, shaped and polished from a single piece of quartz using traditional lapidary techniques.
