This is a gorgeous, larger, NGUNI JASPER crystal skull. It has intricate and complex patterns and a lovely smooth texture - a pleasure to hold in your hands! Seriously gorgeous. The longer you look, the more interesting features you will see. This is one of the last pieces I have in this size.
Nguni Jasper is from South Africa, and is named after Nguni cattle which are a breed that is special to the same region. This is because the intricate and interesting patterns present in this stone closely resemble those found in the markings of the Nguni cattle breed. These cattle have a very long history! The were a big part of the culture of the indigenous Zulu people. For example, Zulu warriors in the 19th century were famous for their multi-colored Nguni hide shields. These beautiful animals are still a large part of Zulu culture in modern times, even though today's Zulu people live much differently than they did 100 years ago.
It has a few small organic spots here and there from inclusions that were close to the surface as the stone was carved and polished. Including a thin linear indent in/around a darker red area behind/above the left eye socket. ALL inclusions present come from 100% natural formations in the stone. MUCH nicer in person than the photos can show - I guarantee it! Check out how it works with subtle energies below!
It weighs about 5.6oz and measures approximately 60mm (2 3/8" inches) long X 41mm (1 5/8" inches) tall. Code-121124-22214
Nguni Jasper has a calming energy which promotes harmony and balance - both inside and out.
It is very much a stone of grounding, and encourages a stronger connection to Mother Earth. It also encourages adaptability in trying times, helping us to re-focus and come back into balance during or after difficult situations. It has become rather are and many stones that are not Nguni are mislabeled
In Crystal Healing, it is used to assist with circulatory system issues, as well as boost the immune system in general.
Nguni Jasper is associated with various Chakras, depending on color variations.
Native legends speak of crystal skulls as an inheritance from ancient times. Said to “talk and sing” they are believed to carry messages for all mankind, including what may be discovered when we overcome our fear of death.
The first layer you encounter when working with any skull, including Synergy, is "to remember." This is the first layer - and this layer has many other layers within it. What you are to called to remember is who you really are. It's so easy to get caught up in the daily things and forget that each life is short and sweet, even with the difficulties. The real you is a Being of Light. You are a Spiritual Being, inside of a physical body. "Remember."
Crystal skulls are tools of awareness and they can:

People have asked me about how I clear my stones. You can read my BLOG entries on this site about working with crystals and skulls for details. Every one of the skulls and stones that I list has been with Synergy and is fully charged with the energy - after all - that's the whole point of me offering them to the public!
