This is a Turquoise Howlite LAUGHING BUDDHA. It has a beautiful mixture of and vivid blues mixed with white marbling all throughout, and a few dark reddish brown areas. Shallow vugs are scattered throughout. Vugs are natural formations, also known as "crystal cave inclusions", and considered highly collectible. There are a few pinprick tiny organic spots from inclusions that were close to the surface as the stone was polished. These areas are a natural part of the stone, not defects. Check out how it works with subtle energies below.
Please note! - After some debate, and talking to several stone carvers, I had a geologist take a look at this material back in early May, 2010. Different carvers have called this "Chinese Turquoise" or "Howlite Turquoise". The geologist says it is natural Howlite that has been dyed somehow to produce the vivid blue coloring. The stone itself is a natural mineral from the Earth, however the color is from being dyed in a man-made process. I don't know the precise details of the process, but the finished product is quite beautiful. I picked this piece first and foremost because of its nice energy, as I do with all of my stones.
It weighs about 3.9oz and measures approximately 2 1/2" inches tall X just over 2" inches wide across the widest point. Code-060824-3794
Turquoise Howlite, AKA Turquonite, is Howlite that is dyed blue to resemble turquoise, and is often falsely sold as Turquoise.
It balances and evens out mood fluctuations and brings inner peace.
Because the stone is actually Howlite, it has the properties of Howlite.
Howlite aids in the calm communication of emotions to others. It is a deeply calming energy, excellent for reducing stress and anxiety.
It is also used as an aid to creativity and for boosting memory retention and is used to dispel selfishness.
In Crystal Healing, it is used for calcium loss, bone and teeth, as well as leg cramps.
It is associated with the Root Chakra but may also be used on various 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

Every one of the skulls and stones that I list has been with Synergy and is fully charged with the energy - after all - that's the whole point of me offering them to the public!
