THE LOGIC (USE CASE)

The Mirror is not a shield. It does not block. It reveals.

Mirror hardware is designed to interrupt distortion—internal or external—by returning information exactly as it is received. When placed in a space, the Mirror functions as a perceptual feedback surface. Intentions, emotional residue, and ambient dynamics are not absorbed or redirected; they are reflected back into awareness.

This is not a comfort object.
It is an instrument of clarity.

The Mirror does not change what is present.
It makes what is present visible.

SIZE & PLACEMENT NOTES

Mirror hardware is issued in multiple sizes because scale determines context, not intensity.
Each size exists to match a different spatial relationship.

Hand Specimens
Small pieces suited for desks, shelves, or altars. These function as personal reference points—quiet, localized mirrors used during focused work or contemplation.

Desk Specimens
Medium-sized pieces intended for daily environments. Placed in a workspace or small room, they provide consistent perceptual feedback without dominating the space.

Field Specimens
Larger pieces designed for fixed placement within a room. These establish a reflective presence that influences the environment rather than a single point of focus.

Anchor Specimens
Substantial objects used in studios, ritual spaces, or shared spaces. Their mass and surface area create a stable reflective field meant to remain in place long-term.

Archive Specimens
Large-format Mirrors intended for permanent placement. These are environmental instruments rather than personal tools—installed, not handled.

Size determines where a Mirror is used, not what it does.

DEEP DIVE — THE MECHANICS OF REFLECTION

1. THE GEOLOGY (THE HARDWARE)

Specular Hematite forms when iron oxide crystallizes into flat, reflective plates rather than massive ore. These plate-like structures reflect light naturally—no polishing required.

Two matrix forms are offered:

Glitter Matrix (Specularite)
Composed of countless microscopic reflective plates. Reflection is diffuse and ambient, influencing space broadly rather than directionally.

Blade Matrix (Plated Specular Hematite)
Larger, flatter crystalline surfaces produce sharper, more confrontational reflection. This form is rarer and mechanically fragile.

Both matrices are issued raw. Altering the surface destroys the reflective structure that gives the Mirror its function.

2. THE METAPHYSICS (THE SOFTWARE)

The Law of Reflection
Information cannot be processed until it is seen clearly.

The Mirror does not cleanse, absorb, or transform. It returns energy, intent, and attention without modification. In doing so, it forces coherence—either alignment or exposure of distortion.

Discomfort near a Mirror does not originate in the stone.
It originates in what the stone reveals.

This makes Mirror hardware effective for:

  • Discernment and truth-seeking

  • Environmental honesty

  • Shadow integration

  • Interrupting illusion loops

FABRICATION CONSTRAINTS

RAW ONLY — BY NECESSITY

Specular hematite is structurally fragile. The reflective planes that make it functional are easily destroyed by cutting, polishing, or grinding.

For this reason:

  • No face-cut option is offered

  • No reshaping is performed

  • Stones are stabilized only when required to prevent flaking

Each Mirror remains as close to its natural state as possible.

CERTIFICATION & PROVENANCE

“I personally recover specular hematite from the Great Lakes region. These stones are often overlooked because of their fragility. Every Mirror in this archive was selected intact and handled minimally to preserve function.”
Jake Dred, Lead Geomancer

• Field-sourced by hand
• No overseas material
• No synthetic coatings
• No reconstructed specimens

FINAL NOTE

Each Mirror specimen is geologically unique. Images represent matrix type and general scale, not the exact artifact received.

Select by placement and spatial intent, not by intensity.
