This is a carved Red Jasper Bird / Raven crystal skull. My bird skulls have been carved with loving care, and have great energy. Each one is unique and the details are exquisite! I have a hard time getting these. This particular stone has a high Hematite content mixed in with very intricate patterns/inclusions all throughout. The Hematite is a dark silvery grey. SUCH a cool stone - the longer you look, the more interesting details you will see.
You can feel a few subtle organic inclusions as you run your fingers over the stone. These come from formations close to the surface as the stone was shaped and polished. ALL inclusions present come from 100% natural formations in the stone. I inspect each piece very carefully before photographing it. A very special addition to any collection! Check out how it works with subtle energies below.
It weighs about 0.8oz and measures about 66mm / just over 2 1/2" inches long X 23mm / 7/8" inch tall. Code-20159
Red Jasper has sometimes been called the “Stone of Counselors and Healers" as well as the "Earth Stone." Its energy reminds us that we are here on the earth to bring joy to others and ourselves. It is a must have stone for all people working with stones and is thought to induce health and re-birth. It is often used by Indigenous healers for protection, strong Grounding, self-healing and remembering dreams.
It is also said to afford some protection of the First and Third Chakra area.
It has often been used to focus on and "activate" the first Chakra, in order to increase one's life-force energies, (also known as Chi, Mana, Prana etc.)
In Crystal Healing, it is used for Self-Healing and increasing one's strength, both emotional and physical.
Red Jasper is associated with the Root or Base Chakra but may be used to assist with the balancing all of the Chakras, as being strongly Grounded is a necessity for balance, on all levels.
Hematite (sometimes spelled Hemetite). Hematite is a must for anyone interested in working with crystals and stones. It is said to assist in grounding and calming and in manifesting Divine Light in your life. It deflects and dissolves negative energies.
Hematite is said to help one to 'sort things out' and can be used for memory enhancement, original thinking and technical knowledge. Hematite, especially in its natural crystalline form, is traditionally thought to bring peace, self-control and inner happiness.
It is a calming energy and is said to attract "kind" love and act as a stabilizing force.
In Crystal Healing, it is used to calm the nerves, for insomnia, and to align the spine and speed the mending of broken bones. Some Indigenous healers have used it with blood disorders. Hematite is associated with the root (base) Chakra.
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.
