Collection: Timeless Algae


  • Red algae have existed for more than 1 billion years.
  • The red pigments in many red algae absorb blue-green light very efficiently.
  • Those pigments help red algae keep using blue-green light for photosynthesis in deeper or dimmer water.
  • The pigments absorb much of the blue-green light and reflect more red light back to your eyes.

Carry this same energy in your life: Just as red algae use the light actually available in deeper water, we have to position and adapt ourselves to knowledge and understanding, so that continued learning and growth remains possible. (Humility)
