John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. And yet Jesus died not only for his friends, but his enemies. I think that's the greatest love and He promised it forever and always. Infinity, eternity, forever, no take backs. The Son of God gave his life to fulfill the covenant God made to Abraham hundreds of years earlier. God himself would be the once and for all sacrifice to take away all the sin that separated mankind from their Creator. No greater love than that!
Infinite love is the story of salvation through Christ. Pyrite suns are in a copper infinity shape with more copper chips and gold pyrite cubes. At the junction of the weathered coastal mangrove branches is a specimen of micah with a large aquamarine gem on its top. On the cross beam, is a polished natural red garnet representing the cleansing blood of Christ and below it red glass smalti that runs down and sprinkles its way down the side. A green chromium quartz cluster is at the other end of the cross beam. Greens represent new life and I've used tanzanile, malachite, ruby in fuschite, peridot, green calcite, green glass and stone smalti, prehnite, green tumbled glass and azurite and malachite specimens. Blue is living water shown with azurite balls, sodalite, turquoise, agate geodes, labradorite, and angelite.
Black slate, rusty chain, and black pebbles signify each person's life without Christ. Fossilized wood and a red flash ammonite represent the things that we put to death - our old life. The rusty orange colors are our efforts as we are being transformed. Aragonite stars are round shapes with perfectly formed crystals, some clear, others rust colored along with a specimen of silver barite with orange cerussite crystals.
The top of the cross has white aragonite, apophyllite, pearls a specimen of crystal and white stone signifying our purity and Heaven with the purples of fluorite, amethyst and an amethyst stalactite our adoption into the royal family of our Savior and King.
