Genesa Crystal : is a sacred geometric symbol: four woven circles forming a sphere composed of six squares and eight triangles. This is an elemental geometry reflecting the ancient wisdom of unity and the modern understanding of interconnectedness. (Dr. Derald Langham, a plant geneticist, discovered this structure in the 1940’s when working with and observing how cells divide and grow. He coined the phrase "Genesa®" to describe a family of shapes he found to symbolize growth patterns through which life energy flows.)
