Turtle Figurine Druse Agate Gemstone Carving
This lovely turtle is hand-carved and has a small natural crystal Druse Agate pocket on its shell!
The gemstone turtle is 4.75 inches long by 3 inches wide and the piece is 2 inches tall.
A layer of very fine crystals formed on a semiprecious stone chalcedony, is known as "Druse" "Drusy" or even sometimes "Druzy".
Many agates are hollow, and in such cases the center often consists of quartz crystals growing towards the free space, forming a crystal-lined cavity, or geode.
This lovely natural agate comes from Brazil.
In many traditions agate is believed to cure the stings of scorpions and the bites of snakes, soothe the mind, prevent contagion, quiet thunder and lightning, secure the favor of the powerful, and bring victory over enemies.
Metaphysical properties: Agates in general are said to be stabilizing, calming and strengthening.
Turtles live to a very old age and so are often associated with long life. We can learn much about time and the perception of time by listening to the turtle. In most Native American cultures the turtle is the symbol of Mother Earth.
