Chrysocolla and Hematite Sea Turtle from India

From Peru, this listing is for a chrysocolla and hematite sea turtle. Gorgeous blue and green chrysocolla deposits run through a matrix of red hematite, creating a beautiful color contrast. The turtle rests on a rocky outcrop, the carver has left this part barely polished to represent a rock where a sea turtle might rest. This carving is not mass produced, each carving is unique and original. 

Mythic lore has associated the turtle especially with the fertility and sageness of the great goddess, the moist, shadowy, lunar qualities of yin, and the primeval waters in which all things have their supported beginning. 

'Be crumbled so wildflowers will come up where you are. You have been stony for too many years. Try something different. Surrender. -Rumi

Chrysocolla literally is the Earth, just gaze at it to know this. Look upon it and feel your connection to self and truth and to the natural order of it all. Use chrysocolla as a conduit to the natural world when you are in need of the nurturing of Mother Earth, that which only the Earth, trees, animals and minerals can provide. When you are at peace with nature you are also at peace with yourself and humanity.  Physically chrysocolla is a match to the throat chakra and ailments that affect this area of the body including thyroid issues. Use your woody essential oils in conjunction with chrysocolla, sandalwood is a great match.
