This Afghan Jade colourful skull was hand-carved by Lawrence Handicrafts in tightly-banded stone from Afghanistan. It is a Serpentine variety, which is a group of magnesium-based asbestos and silicate minerals found in the larger Serpentinite family of minerals. It is formed through plate tectonics and is found on every continent. In Pakistan and Afghanistan, it is translucent to opaque, varying in colour from white, light to dark green and can also occur with yellow, black or pink. Serpentine provides powerful healing energy and is linked to our Kundalini energy. When dormant, Kundalini energy lies coiled at the base of the spine. Its release is transformative.
