This is a Ruby Zoisite / Rubycrosite 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.
Rich green Zoisite (with some shimmery areas mixed in!) is accented by black Hornblende, and dark reddish purple/pink RUBY inclusions! In more scientific circles this stone combination is sometimes known as "Anyolite" because "Anyoli" is the Maasai word for "green". This one combines green Zoisite with dark red/purple Ruby crystals, black Tschermakite/Hornblende, and a small amount of white highlights. It is mainly found in Tanzania.
You can feel a few subtle organic inclusions as you run your fingers over the stone. Including a little sharper piece around a black Hornblende inclusion at the tip of the beak. 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.
As the eye sockets are drilled all the way through, you could also string a cord or leather thong through them to wear it as a pendant, affix to a staff, etc.
It weighs about 0.9oz (light for the size because of the material and shape) and is approximately 59mm / 2 5/16" inches long (back to front) X 20mm / just over 3/4" inch tall. Code19342
Ruby is a Stone of Vitality and integrity, supporting a strong Life Force, and lots of energy. It has long been thought to be a stone of romantic love. Wear a Ruby to bring up your energies when you are feeling dull or super tired. I is also said to bring prosperity and happiness, as well as for being protective of the home and children. It is also considered as a stone of psychic protection. It promotes healing on all levels and is associated with the Heart Chakra.
Hornblende causes beautiful a “cat’s eye” chatoyancy or shimmering, scattered throughout the stone. Hornblende repels negative energies, and supports ones efforts to discover and understand ones own role in attacks from other people. Useful in letting go of envy and jealousy, it is also used for protection. Like labradorite, it discourages others from tapping into your energy and draining you.
Zoisite helps to amplify the subtle energies (the aura) and aids a person in realizing their inner talents. It is also used to help increase your awareness of and connection to your high self. Zoisite assists one in learning to trust. This includes trust of Self, as well as of the Universe. Therefore is very useful in the release of deep seated fears - leading to a more secure feeling and a peaceful happiness. In Crystal Healing zoisite is good for vitality, the reproductive organs and the adrenal glands. It is also used to strengthen the heart. Zoisite is associated with the heart chakra, mainly, but also the root and sacral chakras. Geological Fact: Some Ruby crystals grow within a matrix of the mineral Zoisite.
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.
