A stylized ancestral / fertility figure, inspired by early Southern African stone carvings rather than a literal portrait of a person. It’s often called a “stone of ancestral memory” believed to hold wisdom and calm the nervous system while strengthening resolve. Carved in Verdite, a stone associated with heart-centered grounding and emotional balance, it serves as a quiet reminder of support, resilience, and growth unfolding at its own steady pace. I found these at a antique show that I was at yesterday! I am absolutely floored! I left the sticker on there for research purposes, but it can easily be removed. 👍 Verdite has long been associated with grounding and restoration, believed to support the body during periods of stress, fatigue, or depletion. Often linked to copper-rich minerals, it’s said to encourage circulation, ease tension, and promote a sense of physical balance when worn close to the body. Many are drawn to verdite for its calming, stabilizing presence, helping the wearer feel rooted, supported, and subtly re-energized throughout the day. It’s less about stimulation and more about steady nourishment, like a deep exhale for the nervous system. Absorbing minerals through the skin is the most perfect and efficient way to receive micronutrients into the system.Micronutrients from crystal minerals are absorbed into the body while against the skin. Of course, this crystal – as with any crystal – will never be a replacement for a healthy diet and lifestyle that likewise enhance these abilities within you. But they certainly will work hand in hand!
