Golden Rectangle Spiral 41mm x 53mm ϕ
The ratio of the sides of this rectangle are 1 to 1.618...
This unique ratio is known by many names such as the Golden Mean, Golden Ratio, Divine Proportion. It is the only ratio where the smaller part is to the larger part as the larger part is to the whole. The Golden Ratio is the essence of all ratio. It is the simplest self-referential mathematical statement. It is symbolised by a line through a circle, which also looks very much like a 'one' through a 'zero'. ϕ
Many books have been written just about this ratio that has fascinated mathematicians, scientists, artists, and mystics for millennia. Leonardo DaVinci illustrated a book for his friend called 'The Divine Proportion' and was clearly fascinated by it himself.
Phi is particularly related to pentagonal forms such as the icosahedron and dodecahedron, and to the sequence we call the Fibonacci numbers that begins 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13 ... and continues by adding the two previous numbers to produce the next in the series. Although phi appears in an astonishing amount of unexpected places, it seems to be particularly prevalent in living systems.
The Golden Rectangle has a very interesting property, that removing a square from its longer side leaves a smaller Golden Rectangle. Likewise, adding a square to its longer side makes a larger Golden Rectangle.
The spiral that is formed by inscribing a quarter circle in each of the squares is not quite a perfect Golden Spiral, which would grow constantly so that each 1/4 revolution grew by 1.618... but it is so close that it is hard to distinguish them.

About Our ProductsSacredGeometrical.com is created by web designer, author, and sacred geometry artist Narada Dan Vantari. The 3D designs and all the other artworks here represent many years of study and creative output. We use 3 different POD (Print On Demand) companies, one for the 3D Geometries and Jewellery, one for the Clothing, and one for the Posters. The quality they provide is quite incredible and would not have been possible at almost any price a decade ago! Being POD means that these products are manufactured especially for your order. Our 3D Printed Jewellery and Models3D printing is a disruptive technology that is changing societies approach to manufacturing almost everything. Along with artificial intelligence and nano-engineering it will change human society as much if not more in the next decades as the computer and internet have done in the last decades! Our 3D prints are created as 3D computer files and uploaded to the company in New York where state of the art machines (costing around half a million $) are used to print them layer by layer of tiny dots. (Just like a 2D printer going over and over building up a form out of a stack of sheets of paper). Depending on the material the print is then put through other processes, or even used to create a mold that is then filled with the molten metal. Our Sacred Geometry Clothing Designs
