This is a single flower stem encased in layers upon layers of silica nano particles that hardened to form precious opal! Much like a radiant opal tomb 🤣.

It appears completely white but displays the entire visible spectrum as it’s rotated around a light source. White light enters the structure and is split into individual wavelengths.10 Feb 2025 03:53 +0000at://did:plc:d7dkv3vvydbut5wq5qefi2rq/app.bsky.feed.post/3lhsan72wn22hhttps://bsky.app/profile/tylerthrasherart.bsky.social/post/3lhrklziqzs2aWhen will we FUCKING HEED THE MESSAGE BUG’S WAS TRYING TO TEACH US!!!09 Feb 2025 21:19 +0000at://did:plc:d7dkv3vvydbut5wq5qefi2rq/app.bsky.feed.post/3lhrklziqzs2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/tylerthrasherart.bsky.social/post/3lhqqgypxns2aYeah worn out over the world’s worst people blaming autism.09 Feb 2025 13:30 +0000at://did:plc:d7dkv3vvydbut5wq5qefi2rq/app.bsky.feed.post/3lhqqgypxns2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/tylerthrasherart.bsky.social/post/3lhpgy5xsz22nAn opalized flower is such a niche fucking thing.

Just whipped up blue opal in my studio/ lab. I’ve always wondered if I could impregnate my synthetic opal with a pigment and the answer is “sort of”. I think I went a little heavy handed on it. I’ll have to dial back the amount of pigment next time.06 Feb 2025 22:07 +0000at://did:plc:d7dkv3vvydbut5wq5qefi2rq/app.bsky.feed.post/3lhk3wihtpk2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/tylerthrasherart.bsky.social/post/3lhgrg6im5c2pCrystallized cicada synthesized in my studio/lab!05 Feb 2025 14:21 +0000at://did:plc:d7dkv3vvydbut5wq5qefi2rq/app.bsky.feed.post/3lhgrg6im5c2phttps://bsky.app/profile/tylerthrasherart.bsky.social/post/3lhetkzni7c2z🥵 yall ain’t ready04 Feb 2025 19:54 +0000at://did:plc:d7dkv3vvydbut5wq5qefi2rq/app.bsky.feed.post/3lhetkzni7c2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/tylerthrasherart.bsky.social/post/3lhczv4kr222aWhen I was a kid I never expected that my full time job would be crystallizing insects.
