Monarch Stone International is all about natural stone, so when we recently discovered this exceptional use of stone captured in the form of rock art photography<\/em>, \u00a0we wanted to share \u00a0the \u00a0unique \u00a0and \u00a0beautiful \u00a0imagery \u00a0by photographer Kirk Kegel at Rock Art Pics<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

We initially met Kirk many years ago when our youngest became hooked on rocks \u2013 all kinds of rocks. Thankfully through Boy Scouts and \u00a0a local rock and mineral club; South Orange County Gem & Mineral Society (SOCGEMS.org<\/a><\/span>), we learned about mineralogy and gemology and our son was provided a really great hands-on experience.<\/p>\n

Kirk has since gone on to combine passion for rocks and gems with his incredible talent in photography. Capturing the beauty in a rock the way he does, is quite simply – magical<\/em>. Take a look at an ordinary slice of a Brazilian Agate geode, which becomes \u201cThe Big Wave\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"ocean-window72-watermarked\"The amazing variety of colors and forms in these photographs present a unique conversation piece and design element. They appear as a paintings to the untrained eye, like the one below, \u201cOcean Window\u201d which is rhyolite with a stunning blue agate inside, or the Jasper Agate in a beautiful heart shape called \u201cHeart Rocker\u201d –\u00a0 just in time for Valentine\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n

These images from the Earth, found in natural stone, gems, fossils, and plants, are available as fine art giclee prints and canvas wraps by visiting Kirk\u00a0Kegel Photography’s\u00a0website<\/a><\/span> and if you are in the local area, Designs By Nature<\/a><\/span> in San Clemente.<\/p>\n
