Try the colored stones forums - she is usually there.

Actually .. I will email her to your thread.

is an 8-cell another word for tesseract? I think that''s what it is (very cool, but wouldn''t want to live in one

)

Yes, it's a hypercube or tesseract.

I take it that if that's his favorite thing on PS, your boyfriend isn't much into gems/jewelry!! LOL!

My boys love it too, especially since it spins around. They keep asking to see the "ice cube". It''s different plus anything geometric is cool in my book.

In case anyone is wondering what an "8-cell", "tesseract" or "hypercube" is, it''s a cube that is exists in four dimensional space (hyperspace). Since we cannot see four spacial dimensions since we are confined to a three dimensional universe, my avatar is a two dimensional reprsentation of a three dimensional shadow of a four dimensional cube rotating in hyperspace,

This is basically something that is studied in physics.
