This is a carved snowy Calcite White Buffalo Totem. Beautiful! It has a fairly uniform coloring with subtle inclusions/formations visible throughout, including a couple reddish orange Iron deposits.
The legend of the White Buffalo Woman is one of the most well known Native American legends. "This holy woman brought the sacred buffalo calf pipe to the Sioux. There could be no Indians without it. Before she came, people didn't know how to live. They knew nothing. The Buffalo Woman put her sacred mind into their minds." --Crow Dog, Sioux Medicine Man
There are a few small organic spots here and there from inclusions that were close to the surface as the stone was polished. ALL inclusions present come from natural parts of the material.
It weighs about 3.1oz and measures approximately 2 1/2" inches long X just under 1 1/2" inches tall. Code-10072024-3818
As a totem animal the Buffalo is considered to represent abundance. Buffalo medicine teaches us that abundance is present when all relations are honored as sacred and when gratitude is expressed to every part of creation. The Buffalo is often associated with prayer and helps us establish a deep connection to Mother Earth. He helps to strengthen our character, and encourage us our independent spirits.
Calcite of all kinds increases and amplifies energy, which is why it is used to assist in boosting the intuition, channeling and astral travel. It is thought to be a stone of creativity and spontaneity. All colors of calcite have been used to reduce stress and anxiety, and increase inner peace. It is a stone that one may chose when adjusting to abrupt change and imbalance in one’s life. It is a grounding energy and is thought to purify one's energy, and balance the Chakras.
In Crystal Healing, it is thought to reduce the time that one takes to heal, and is also used with ADD and ADHD, specifically to help one channel their excess or restless energy into creative endeavors. It is also used for back pain and to increase stamina and strength.
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

People have asked me about how I clear my stones. You can read my BLOG entries on this site about working with crystals and skulls for details. 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!
