Green Granite Skull [1k1404]

Granite is a very common igneous, intrusive rock, laden with Quartz and Feldspar, found throughout the earth's crust, forming from slow crystallisation of magna. Granite ranges from medium to course grain, forming in irregular patches of variable size.   Granite occurs in a range of colours depending on the mineral/impurity content.  Granite is a common component of everyday life, occurring as tiles and paving materials, bench tops and monuments.  Granite is also the building material of some of the world's greatest human constructed treasures, such as Mount Rushmore in South Dakota, USA, and the Brihadeeswarar Temple to Shiva in Southern India.

This particular carving is from a primarily Green Granite that includes course granular red orange and yellow green mineral content.  This Green Granite is a grounding heart chakra stone associated with the beauty, and at first blush, the simplicity of the natural world.  Of course on further exploration the natural world is incredibly complex and intrinsically connected to encompass plant and animal life, the earth and atmosphere in a unique intricate balance.  In first instance many complex systems can appear simple or straightforward, yet upon further inspection be incredibly involved, as can be the way of human emotion and relationships.

Green Granite in deep meditative practice can be a refreshing 'reset' to your thought processes when considering matters of the heart wherein you can acknowledge and accept something to be effortless and complicated all at once.

Stone carved into the human skull form is a tool that can be used with meditative practice to expand your consciousness.
