This stunning Turtle was created by Lawrence Handicrafts exclusively for Rocks and Things. Its shape and indentation mean, as well as being a beautiful decorative object, it can also double as a platter. It was skillfully created to make the most of the natural beauty of the Afghan Jade found in Pakistan. The Afghan Jade found there is translucent to opaque and has a wide colour range including white, light to dark green, yellow, black and pink. This turtle shows nearly all of these and more. Afghan Jade is a form of Serpentine (Bowenite) named after the neighbouring country where it is also found. Serpentine is the name given to 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. This stone is all about Kundalini awakening. Serpentine means ‘stone snake’. 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. The slow and steady pace of the turtle can reliably and safely get you to this place of transformation
