This is a high quality CHAROITE standing stone. The stone itself is from Russia. Shown next to a standard 12oz/255ml soda can size comparison. Charoite is one of my favorite stones! Thus far, it has only been found in Siberia, Russia. Although it was first reported in the 1940s, this mineral was not really known to the outside world until 1978. This is thought to be because that when discovered in the field, it's opaque and rather unassuming. This rare fibrous silicate mineral has lovely purple hues and an unusual, swirling, appearance with areas of cat's eye shimmer/chatoyancy. (A similar effect can be seen in other fibrous minerals, like Tiger's Eye.) This effect, plus the pretty purple coloring, makes some people think this is a synthetic or lab enhanced stone... but it's not! Another example of some of the amazing minerals that come out of Russia!
This particular piece has patterns in several purple shades mixed with black and brown-ish/mauve-ish marbling. Many areas have hints of chatoyancy / shimmer that shows up as you move the stone around in your hands.
It weighs about 10oz / 284 grams / 1,420 carats and measures approximately 3 5/8" inches tall X just under 2" inches wide at the widest point (the base). Code-112724-24
Charoite is called a "Stone of Transformation." It is a very powerful stone, aiding in the transformation and release of such negative emotions as anger and fear. It has been used to assist in letting go of fear and deep feelings of victimization by supporting the awareness of these emotions and moving towards transforming them into creativity, assertiveness, balance and courage. This may allow one to see themselve’s with more clarity.
It is a stone that supports the acceptance of self as well as others.
Charoite is thought to strengthen the connection between the heart and the crown Chakras, allowing the user to grow spiritually.
It has been used to enhance clairvoyance, precognition and to aid in removing entities.
In Crystal Healing it is used to support various ailments, from headaches and liver problems to heart and eye problems. It is a soothing, yet energetic stone. It has also been used to help with attention deficit disorders (ADD and ADHD.)
It is associated with the Crown and Heart Chakras.
Native legends speak of crystal skulls as an inheritance from ancient times. Said to “talk and sing” they are believed to carry messages for all mankind, including what may be discovered when we overcome our fear of death.
The first layer you encounter when working with any skull, including Synergy, is "to remember." This is the first layer - and this layer has many other layers within it. What you are to called to remember is who you really are. It's so easy to get caught up in the daily things and forget that each life is short and sweet, even with the difficulties. The real you is a Being of Light. You are a Spiritual Being, inside of a physical body. "Remember."
Crystal skulls are tools of awareness and they can:
Focus Energy
Reflect Energy
Attune Energy
Transmit Energy
Transform Energy
Store Energy
Amplify Energy
