Another reason I posted those 2 pics side by side
is to demonstrate that most peculiar geometric
Platonic corundum
A oval cut in half at basically a 12° angle,
and when the 2 pieces are inverted those makes a heart shape.
Or get 2 angle wings. Cause when ya put 2 wings together
It makes whole heart.
I discovered that geometric puzzle
when profiling the 2 pieces
and matching them up into different configurations.
One day I said to self:
‘ I’ll be darn self -- that an oval’.
Well at least- ovalish- or is that heartish ?
Anyway that my discovery to sacred geometry …mostly
