FACETED CYLINDERS of colorful agate are lined up to showcase the wonders of geology in one necklace. Smoke a joint and ponder the eons it took for stratified layers to harden within agate. How can the red and yellow stripes in jasper mimic a sunset? Only God could create a microcosm below to match the macrocosm above.

Now you can vibe out, too.
