This is a powerfully energetic Dendritic Agate JAGUAR Totem. Shown next to a standard 12oz/355ml soda can for size comparison.
Fabulous details on this one. Carved from a single piece of stone! It has darker blue-greys mixed with a deep smoky color in some of the bands, as well as white/cream, and hints of golden orange. Tiny black DENDRITIC inclusions are scattered throughout, particularly on the back side. These can resemble tiny plant-life but in this case are actually composed of Manganese and/or Psilomelane.
There are some small organic spots here and there from inclusions that were close to the surface as the stone was shaped. ALL areas present come from 100% natural formations in the stone.
It weighs about 4lbs 5.1oz and measures about 5 7/8" inches tall by 8" inches long. Code-020224-3781
As a totem animal, the Jaguar teaches us to pace ourselves, and not push too hard. The Jaguar's strength is drawn from the lunar cycle, and the night, and it
shares this wisdom with us. Jaguar totems provide guides - human or otherwise - to help us on our paths in life. Mentors, teachers, or friends, all can be found
with the help of the Jaguar.
