A unique and beautiful hand carved piece made from Chaistolite. This Skull is 2" (from front to back) and weighs approximately 3.5 ounces. Chaistolite is a variety of Andalusite, a mineral that forms in metamorphic rocks. It forms through a process called metamorphism, where existing rocks undergo changes due to high pressure and temperature. The distinctive cross-shaped inclusions in Chaistolite are a result of the way Andalusite crystallizes under these conditions. These inclusions are typically filled with minerals like graphite or clay, which contribute to the stone's unique appearance. Chaistolite is believed to offer a protective shield against negative energies and provide grounding, helping the wearer stay connected to the Earth and their own physical reality. The cross-like pattern within the stone is thought to symbolize transformation and personal growth, aiding in the release of old patterns and embracing new paths. Chaistolite can also help to enhance your clarity of thought and gain insight into personal challenges, helping you navigate through difficult situations with greater wisdom.
