My Gemstone Art sculpture to show Bitcoins issuance over time. There will be 33 Epochs, 4 years in length, from 2009 to 2140 ,when the last Bitcoin will be mined. Four Silver squares, linked together, float above a beautiful petrified wood that is millions of years old. The squares get smaller in size to illustrate the halving of Bitcoin rewards every 4 years.

There is an Octahedral, or double pyramid, shaped crystal of Flourite to mark the target of the last Bitcoin, number 21 million in 2140. The Silver pattern is angled at 21 degrees to the vertical.

A brass spiral shows the graph of Bitcoins price over time. Three natural Diamond cubes, secured on 14kt White Gold pins, mark the halving dates of 2013, 2017 and 2021. The centre of the spiral starts in 2009, and grows out towards the outer edge. This gemstone art sculpture was inspired by a tweet called the Digital Rai by Wicked Smart Bitcoin @w_s-bitcoin.

The petrified wood is an African, Woodworthia tree. This is 250 million years old, from the Triassic period when dinosaurs roamed the earth. The back of the fossilized wood has a Silver plate with my signature and the block time on completion - 734,000.

Presented in a handmade Black Walnut wooden Box with a n engraved brass plate that details the artwork.
