Ophiolite Skull~CROSKULL

Ophiolite Skull Carving~CROSKULL. Instead of representing death or loss, Skulls represents the important Buddhist concept of emptiness. In Buddhism, emptiness is considered to be a quality of the universe. This means that phenomena we experience has no inherent nature by itself; instead, we attach meaning to what we experience. It’s basically saying all events are neutral- but we choose to magnify them in our minds. They can also symbolize humility, reminding us that everything outside the skull is vanity. They can also represent humanity, unity, and diversity, because other than subtle differences and size, they are pretty much identical regardless, of age, sex, or race. An ophiolite (variety: Serpentine) is a section of Earth's oceanic crust and the underlying upper mantle that has been uplifted and exposed, and often emplaced onto continental crustal rocks. Serpentine is a stone for awakening ones kundalini, and sometimes facilitating a spiritual awakening as well. It is also said to assist in releasing culturally ingrained aggression/defensive patterns or karmic or personal patterns of the abuser/rescuer/victim cycle that lead to the ongoing discord of the world. It is thought to release fear of change, promote hope and optimism, and remind one to “be the change one wishes to see in the world”. 51mm x 40mm x 34mm.
