This is a Red Jasper DOLPHIN totem with a high Hematite content. Shown next to a US quarter coin for size comparison. It has been here charging with Synergy for 6+ years now. It appears dark at first but the closer you look the more intricate patterns and formations you will see. Teeny tiny sparkles catch the light when it is moved around under a bright light source, too. Very cool!
There are some tiny organic inclusions here and there that you may be able to feel subtly as you run your fingers over the stone. They can resemble fine lines/linear indents on the surface, small notches, or look like tiny pinpricks/indents. ALL inclusions come from 100% natural parts of the stone. I always pick by energy FIRST! The photos don't do it justice, I apologize. It's much nicer 'in person' than the photos show, I guarantee it.
It weighs about 0.7oz and measures approx. just under 1" inch tall X 1 7/8" inches long. Code-072123-3747
As a totem animal, the Dolphin reminds us to get out and play! They are also closely tied to sound. Sound is the creative life force, so Dolphin teaches us to create inner sounds so that we might create outer manifestations. If a Dolphin totem shows up in your life, ask yourself what your words and thoughts are creating...but most of all, remember to breathe!
