This is a Golden Tiger Eye HEDGEHOG totem. Shown next to a US quarter coin for size comparison. Super cute! It has a lot of beautiful shimmer/flash that shows up as you move the stone around in your hands.
As Tiger Eye is fibrous, it is possible for it to have some small organic spots here and there from inclusions that were close to the surface as the stone was polished. ALL inclusions present are natural parts of the stone. A very special addition to any collection. MUCH nicer in person than the photos can show, I guarantee it. Check out how it works with subtle energies below!
It weighs about 2.5oz and measures approximately 1 7/8" inches long (back to snout) X 1 3/16" inches wide across the widest point X about 1 1/4" inches tall. Code-021525-3835
As a totem animal, the Hedgehog reminds us that sometimes a tough exterior is required to succeed. They are strongly connected to protection and fortitude, but also curiosity and gentleness. Hedgehog is an excellent ally for assisting with discernment – it knows when it’s time to explore, and when it’s time to roll up in a ball and protect itself. Be yourself, follow your curiosity, and trust your instincts. You got this!
