Indian Agate Jawless Skull [1k1595]

Indian Agate is from the Chalcedony group of stones defined by their microcrystalline structure.  Agate is generally translucent to semi-transparent and Indian Agate comes in a range of colours and colour combinations, including green, pink, orange yellow and red, with green being the most common colour.  This particular carving is a colour combination of khaki green and brown beige coloured Indian Agate.

Agate is a grounding stone, said to be particularly useful in deep meditative practice to assist with self confidence and one's stability in the world; that is having a deeper understanding of one's place and value, irrespective of the goings on with other people.  Agate can be metaphorically akin to your supporting foundation stone in this respect.

More specifically to Indian Agate and the particular colouring of this stone, one can take this further in deep meditative practice to add a greater level of passion and creativity to your daily life.  If you were to ask me, I would tell you that passion and creativity are instrumental to living a full and satisfying life.  Life is not about having everything you dream of at your fingertips, but having a purpose and meaning in a chaotic existence over-saturated with unending options and choices.
