The Lodestar convex mirror is all about golden light. The recycled frame was gilded with gold metal leaf and then citrine crystals that were tumbled smooth were added to the inner ring. Venetian glass( clear with a gold leaf interior) bead were added as well as more citrine and tiger-eye beads. The brilliant yellow, gold, striped points creating the “star” are yellow fluorite.
The Lodestar mirror measures about 10″ in diameter.
Jewelry for walls!
When a sailor uses a star to navigate by, it’s called a lodestar. The most commonly used lodestar is the bright and easily spotted Polaris, also known as the North Star.
Navigating on a clear night at sea, you’ll need a lodestar to guide you so you always know what direction you’re going. Something that similarly guides you through life and its tricky decisions can also be called a lodestar. This might be a mentor or some other person who helps you figure out which direction to go, or a guiding principle. Lodestar, “star that leads the way,” uses the “way or course” meaning of lode.
