Chrysocolla and Red Hematite Snake Carving from Peru

From Peru, this listing is for a 2-pound snake carved from chrysocolla and red hematite. This beautiful snake sits on a rock, coiled and ready to strike. This snake carving is one of a kind, it was not mass produced on a production line. 

The snake has always conveyed power over life and death, making it a form of ancestral spirit, guide to the Land of the Dead and mediator of the hidden processes of transformation and return. 

'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.
