Each stone is approx 18 to 25mm. The 5 'Platonic' forms are the only convex forms in 3D where each vertex, edge, and face, is identical. Since Plato (and perhaps Pythagorus and the Egyptian before him) these forms have been thought of as the building elemental blocks of reality.The pentagonal dodecahedron represents spirit, the octahedron air, the tetrahedron fire, the icosahedron water, and the cube earth. The tetrahedron is what we could call 'directional', meaning that it cannot be placed in a gravitational field without seeming to point either up or down, or to one side or the other. It...
This is a cute little set. I use about 5 kits at once. It is a lot of fun. Beyond that many the tiny errors in the length of the sticks start to add up and make it harder to create perfect geometries. Pieces: 36PCS Magnetic Sticks & 27PCS Steel Balls Please note: these strong magnets are not a toy and are not suitable for children. People have died or been seriously injured by inhaling or swallowing more than one magnet. In Australia and New Zealand sale of these sets is most likely illegal and therefore we do not ship...

Strong magnet sticks with unmagnetised balls.(You dont actually want the balls magnetised for this kit because you want the sticks to be able to go in any direction)
These are a lot of fun.
Please note: these strong magnets are not a toy and are not suitable for children. People have died or been seriously injured by inhaling or swallowing more than one magnet.
In Australia and New Zealand sale of these sets is most likely illegal and therefore we do not ship them to these countries.
This looks like a lovely little board for travelling chess players.Wood is always nice. Magnetic is important especially on smaller boards. And this set even comes with extra queens (encouraging optimistic pawn pushers).
Pattern recognition, memory, strategy, visualisation and logic are just some of the skills chess is known to develop and exercise.
This is a full 19x19 board and pieces for playing the ancient Chinese game of Go. It was another landmark in the evolution of A.I. when one of the very top Go players in the world was beaten.Go is considered to be a more subtle and intuitive game than chess for instance, and it was thought we might still be years away from having a computer beat a top player. However in 2016 Googles 'Alpha Go' won the match 4 to 1. In 2017 it beat the worlds #1 ranked player 3 to 0. None-the-less, Go remains a very...
This is a classic game that I am yet to fully understand the strategy of despite having played it for decades! The rules are so simple (and Google-able).One player is white and one black. Each takes turns in placing one circle of their color on the board and reversing any of the other players circles that are caught between two of their own circles.Wait a minute... its simpler to play than to explain! If you need a primer try this quick video :-) Some people take the game quite seriously as you can see from this Youtube Channel of lessons...
For such a simple spring-like spiral of wire it is interesting how hard it is for the mind to understand its behaviour. Endless fund for children of all ages. These have become festival favourites and even performance toys. More than one is recommended for maximum enjoyment, especially when playing with friends. Of course, the torus form is one of the most important energetic forms, being as it is the basic shape of the electromagnetic field surrounding each charged particle, cell, body, planet, star, and galaxy! In this video below some mathematical secrets of the Toroflux are explained along with some other...
An amazing collection of brain teasing geometric wooden puzzles to choose from.There are some very nice geometries here that you can have a hands on experience with.
(They also make great altar pieces).
Warning: Once disassembled you may never get them back together again (without asking your kids for help).
This is a brilliant little game. Can be learned in 30 seconds and entertain for many hours as it develops your pattern recognition and planning and strategy abilities.Each player has their own 5x5 square filled with 24 square sliding coloured blocks leaving one empty square. Play goes like this. Shake up the 9 coloured cubes in their box. Then it is a race as both players try to reproduce in the central 9 squares of their board the pattern of the 9 coloured cubes. Squares can only be slid into the empty space, so reorgansing can take a little thought, but play...
Tangrams are Chinese geometrical puzzles consisting of a rectangle cut into pieces which can be arranged to make various other shapes. Trying to get the pieces back into the rectangle is the first puzzle, but the challenges you can invent are endless.
Here is what crystal books have to say about Aventurine. Aventurine is known as the "Rock of Chance," thought to be the luckiest of all crystals, particularly in manifesting prosperity, or for enhancing your luck in competitions or games of chance. Its winning power makes it a fantastic ally for boosting one's chances in any kind of scenario - an initial date, tax obligation audit, also landing a promotion. One requires only to be near it to obtain its benefits.This stunning stone, however, is not just an attractor of luck. Aventurine releases old patterns, and frustrations so brand-new growth can...
