This is a carved Goldstone ANUBIS DOG totem. This is a man-made material. See below the measurements for more info. It has a pretty coppery red coloring with LOTS of tiny sparkles all throughout. There is a small area on the tip of the muzzle with a lighter coloring. Nice details! It has a couple small organic spots from inclusions that were close to the surface as the stone was polished. ALL inclusions present are 100% natural parts of the stone.

The Egyptian God Anubis has several roles to play. He is the protector of tombs, graves, and cemeteries. He was associated with mummification and embalming. He was the Guide of Souls, assisting the departed across the threshold from the world of the living to the afterlife. And he was the Guardian of the Scales, involved with the “weighing of the heart” – where a person’s heart was weighted against Ma’at (or “truth”), represented by an ostrich feather. Only souls lighter than the feather would ascend. He is pictured with a canine head, and his sacred animal is the African golden wolf. Often depicted in black, a color that symbolized regeneration, life, and the soil of the Nile River to the Ancient Egyptians.
Goldstone is said to be a Master Healer, stabilizing emotions and aiding one in staying calm. It is a useful protection stone, used to repel negative entities and ghosts.
Goldstone reminds us to set goals that are lofty and then work to attain them. It is also thought to stimulate optimism. Goldstone is said to be very effective when sending healing energies from the heart, throat or third eye Chakras; healing that is done with Love, through laying on of hands, speaking or writing, or through meditation or dreams. It is used to increase the healing energies emanating from the hands, and is often used for long distance healing techniques, such as Reiki.
In Crystal Healing, Goldstone is felt to be extremely helpful in increasing blood flow and reducing inflammation, as well as reducing fatigue and restlessness. It is also used in the treatment of arthritis.
It is associated with the Throat, Heart and Third Eye 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

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!
