Please note! - After some debate, and talking to several stone carvers, I had a geologist take a look at this material in early May, 2010. Different carvers have called this "Chinese Turquoise" or "Howlite Turquoise". The geologist says it is natural Howlite that has been dyed somehow to produce the vivid blue coloring. The stone itself is a natural mineral from the Earth, however the color is from being dyed in a man-made process. I don't know the precise details of the process, but the finished product is quite beautiful. I picked this piece first and foremost because of its nice energy, as I do with all of my stones.
A nice size to experiment with - affordable and unique, these small skulls make a great addition to your collection or a gift for anyone interested in crystal skulls or crystal healing work. It can be used to make jewelry, put in a sacred arrangement, or use as a pocket stone.
They measure approximately 5/8" to 3/4" inch long. As they are individually carved, each one varies slightly.
Howlite aids in the calm communication of emotions to others. It is a deeply calming energy, excellent for reducing stress and anxiety.
It is also used as an aid to creativity and for boosting memory retention and is used to dispel selfishness.
In Crystal Healing, it is used for calcium loss, bone and teeth, as well as leg cramps.
It is associated with the Root Chakra but may also be used on various Chakras.
