Physical properties

Hardness: 7 (Amethyst inclusions) / 2-3 (Resin shell). Color: Purple amethyst, gold flakes, turquoise-colored resin. Luster: Vitreous to resinous. Structure: Trigonal/hexagonal (internal minerals).

Formation & geological history

Human-made decorative object containing natural mineral specimens suspended in synthetic polyester or epoxy resin. Often includes a mix of quartz, metal shavings, and copper coils.

Uses & applications

Used primarily as decorative art, paperweights, or within metaphysical and New Age circles as 'energy balancing' tools.

Geological facts

These items are modern creations inspired by the theories of Wilhelm Reich regarding 'orgone energy,' though there is no scientific basis for such energy. The pyramid shape is specifically chosen for aesthetic and symbolic reasons.

Field identification & locations

Identified by the distinct layering of metal, resin, and central crystal spheres or points within a geometric pyramid mold. Common at gift shops and crystal retailers.
