Description from the seller
This sculpture was hand-carved from a single block of natural malachite with hints of chrysocolla. Depicting two intertwined pythons, symbols of strength, transformation, and eternity, this creation represents the perfect balance of beauty and power.
The Energy of Malachite and Chrysocolla
Malachite, with its deep shades of green and unique veining, has always been associated with protection and personal transformation. Hints of chrysocolla, with their blue-green hues, evoke the balance between the strength of the earth and the fluidity of water. In cultures around the world, the python is seen as a guardian of knowledge and regeneration, symbolizing:
Strength and Endurance – The ability to adapt and overcome challenges
Transformation and Rebirth – Linked to personal growth and life's cycles
Protection and Mystical Power – Revered in many African and Asian cultures.
