If You Like Jig-Saws,

that are slightly different,


 these could be the ones for you,

they are made by Massachusetts-based design studio Nervous System, that writes unique computer programs that aim to imitate processes found in nature, 

 the company recently designed a geode jigsaw puzzle modelled after slices of agate, a type of rock characterised by its repeated colourful bands,

 the studio’s computer simulation ensures that natural variations influence the puzzle’s shape, colour, and pattern, essentially “growing” the artificial geode in a similar way to how it would be formed in nature,

so here is the amazing thing, every geode puzzle designed by Nervous System is completely different!

puzzles are each cut from birch plywood and sold at 180 or 370 pieces, You can view and purchase dozens of other original agate designs in the studio’s online shop, and no I am not on commission, I just thought it was so neat that no two puzzles will ever be exactly the same,

and here is how they are made, 

and in case the name seems familiar, we have featured the company before, with their Infinite Galaxy Puzzle.
