Where Rainbows Enter the Earth – The Story of Living Stone

Long ago, before roads carved the land and drills reached into stone, the sky and the earth were still in deep conversation. Lightning cracked across the horizon, not just as storm, but as spirit. And behind it, rainbows would appear. Not as decoration, but as messengers.

One day, the rainbows did not fade.
They came with purpose.
They arched across the sky like bridges of light, and then as if answering an ancient call they turned downward and pierced the earth.

In the country now known as Lightning Ridge, the ground opened just enough to let the colour in.
Rainbows sank into the red soil, into the deep layers where ancient waters once slept.
There, the light met something waiting: fine grains of silica, left behind by seas that had long since disappeared.

And in that moment the light and earth, water and silence a transformation began.

The silica, touched by rainbow energy, began to shift. It took the colour in.
Slowly n’ Gently.
Drop by drop, layer by layer, the silica became more than just dust.
It began to remember the sky.

What formed was no ordinary stone.
It was living colour, captured in stillness.
It was memory, wrapped in layers of green, blue, red, and gold.
It was emotion held in form.
It was opal.

These stones did not rise to the surface.
They stayed deep, patient, hidden in the folds of the land until with the right hands and the right hearts they could shine once again.

Spiritually, these stones carry the teaching of their making:
That light can pierce even the hardest ground.
That beauty can grow from silence and pressure.
That what’s buried isn’t gone it’s becoming something new.

To wear a stone like this is to remember your own layers.
To honour the parts of yourself that were shaped slowly, through time and change.
It’s to carry a rainbow close to your heart - not one that shouts, but one that shines when the light catches just right.

The land at Lightning Ridge still hums with this energy.
The sky still waits for its reflection in the stone and those who listen closely can still feel the moment when the rainbow touched the earth and never truly left.

Necklace of Starfire and Stillness
Devitrified spherulitic rhyolite
by Lorie Norton

This necklace was born from the silence beneath the skin of the Earth—a silence that holds the memory of a sacred fire. What once flowed as volcanic glass—wild, chaotic, unformed—has become solid and still, its fire cooled by time’s breath.

Crafted with intention, this piece was not made in haste. It was shaped in conversation with the stone and my life, which revealed itself as a teacher of paradox: fierce beginnings softened into wisdom, movement surrendered into stillness, disorder transfigured into divine geometry. Within its swirling surface lie motion blooms, tiny crystalline orbs, radiating like seeds, stars, or frozen waves—each one a fingerprint of Earth’s inner flame.

This necklace carries a lesson for its wearer: that chaos, given patience, can crystallise into clarity. That there is no need to rush the path of becoming. Creation unfolds in its own sacred time.

Rhyolite being a stone of quiet transformation, teaches that beauty often forms far from view, deep in the dark places where pressure meets stillness. Its devitrification is a map for healing. A reminder that strength may be found not through striving, but through surrendering to the slow magic of time.

Woven into this piece are the intentions of grounding, stillness, and embodied wisdom. It is a talisman not of escape, but of return—a sacred anchor guiding the soul back into its own sediment, into the truth of one’s layered self.

This is more than an adornment. It is stone of earth-born light. A stone-light to rest on the heart, reminding the one who wears it that even the wildest beginnings can become something enduring. Something holy.

Well I’m stuck and can’t outrun this cyclone that’s going to lash the Byron Bay and Mullumbimby Lismore regions so time to sit in the first wave of sunshine we have seen for hours and ponder. 💭

Weathering a cyclone is like surrendering to the untamed dance of the elements, like my wild hair caught in the wind. Sometimes you must simply let go and trust in your roots to keep you grounded.
The rain may drench you in doubt, stripping away what no longer serves you, but it also nourishes the earth, making space for renewal.
Remember, the sun always returns, golden and steadfast, warming your spirit like the first sacred sip of coffee after a long, restless night.
Hold steady, seek shelter and witness nature’s embrace, and know that after the storm passes, you will rise with the land, cleansed, strengthened and ready to begin again.

I’ll keep you posted how we go…

My life lately has been teaching me that creation is a dance between patience and preparation.
Its funny how that these lessons keeps showing up.

This morning, I reflected on love over coffee in a beautiful cup from ,

Clay is like life’s meaningful connections it cannot be forced into shape before it is ready. The potter must first knead and center the clay, shaping it with care and knowing that pressing too hard too soon will cause it to collapse. In the same way, waiting for the right love isn’t about standing still, it’s about becoming the person who can hold such a connection with strength and grace. The kiln, like time, tests what has been formed. If the foundation is weak, the fire will reveal its cracks. But when patience, intention, and craftsmanship guide the process, what emerges isn’t just a cup. It’s something enduring and something that can be used and cherished for a lifetime.
So a love shaped by time, steady hands, a calm mind and good intentions will withstand the fire of the heart and become a vessel strong enough to hold a life that is truly beautiful.
