Biographical Sketch for "Crystal Bill" Kaunitz

Bill's initial interest in crystals came from the use of crystals for "light shows"- clear crystals have the ability to throw rainbows and projected images when illuminated by lasers, spotlights or slide projectors. In the late 1970's, Bill's company, Foreign Embassy Productions, created a series of live music events, theatrical plays, and light shows based on these techniques.

Bill's interest in the natural quartz crystals soon grew to encompass architecturally shaped crystals, which he calls crystal castles and crystal cities. His search for the crystal cities, led him to the crystal mines of Arkansas, where he created his first crystal museum. His current museum and showroom is near San Francisco, California.

He has collected crystal cities from Arkansas quartz mines and from around the world. After searching through some 12 million crystals, Bill found a few hundred that looked so much like castles, and other types of buildings, that he is convinced that natural crystal shapes have historically influenced architecture for thousands of years.

Bill has developed specialized lighting techniques for photographing the miniature crystals that best represent architectural concepts. Most of the photos are created by lighting the crystals with miniature spotlights, made from fiber optic tubes. Then flash lamps are beamed through the quartz fibers. His camera equipment is custom designed to create a sense of flying around and through the crystals. The Nikon lens is three feet long!

Bill's interest in the energetic powers of crystals, led to a series of seminars that he taught across the U.S.A. The classes focus on the abilities of people to use crystals and gemstones for meditation tools, spiritual development and for alternative healing methods. In his "spare" time, Bill has worked as an attorney, and as an art broker for sculptors, muralists and other artists. Bill currently works with fine artist Nancy Silverhawk, to create large crystal and bronze sculptures. The multi-million year old crystal gemstones are blended with traditional cast bronze sculpture.

Nancy's has a Master's of Fine Art degree from UCLA. Bill graduated with honors from the University of San Francisco Law School.
