Lapis Lazuli Bear Carving from Pakistan

This listing is for a 1 pound 12-ounce lapis lazuli bear carving. This detailed bear stands upright, leaning, holding onto, a large rock, rough lapis lazuli. The carver has left the rock rough and natural, while adding much detail to the bear. This bear stands tall, making a beautiful display. 

Immensely powerful, the bear knows about death through its ability to deal it as well as survive it. In alchemy, the bear corresponds to the potentially devouring affective energies of psyche's unconscious realm that can seize us destructively, especially if we are naive or disrespectful enough to underestimate the significance. And yet the bear is equally evocative of the mothering aspect of nature, manifested in the image of she-bear as fierce protector and tender nurturer. (excerpt from The Book of Symbols, Taschen).

It is only through questioning what people take for granted, what people hold to be true, that we can break through the hypnosis of social conditioning. -Deepak Chopra

This blue stone helps you to be yourself, a clear connection to your highest potential. Lapis Lazuli fosters liberation from past compromises and what may have held you back. Not learning to be but remembering and connecting to a time when you were the ruler of your own spiritual kingdom. Rose and rosewood essential oils complement the use of lapis lazuli. Lazurite is the main component in Lapis and what gives it the intense blue color it's known for.
