Concept

PUMICE WASHED

TRACE & NARRATIVE / 痕跡與敘事

First described mineralogically in Greenland in 1811. Named for its high sodium content—"soda" lite.

In 1891, Princess Mary (then Duchess of York) visited Bancroft, Ontario, took a liking to the stone, and brought a large quantity back to Britain. It has been known as "Princess Blue" since. One royal's taste gave a stone a second name.

Visually close to lapis lazuli, but compositionally different. Sodalite contains no pyrite—no gold flecks. Two very similar blues, with entirely different origins.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PROJECTION / 心理投射

Logic — Truth — Order

Brings order to thought. When emotional turbulence threatens to sever the thread of reasoning, this holds it taut. Not a poet's stone. It belongs to the thinker and the engineer.

SELECTOR'S NOTE / 選品手記

In the middle of an emotional current, he doesn't lose the thread of logic. Not cold — wired differently. The analytical circuit runs parallel, uninterrupted. This stone is his instrument. Not the poet's stone. The architect's. It tends to remain in the possession of people who enjoy the act of putting thoughts in order.
