Description from the seller
The skull is a powerful and versatile symbol across cultures worldwide, representing a wide range of meanings from death and rebirth to protection and wisdom.
In some currents of Buddhism, such as Tibetan Buddhism, skulls symbolize the impermanence of life and help meditate on the cyclical nature of life and death, the abandonment of the ego, and detachment from earthly bonds. Also, in Hinduism, the god Shiva is sometimes depicted with a skull to symbolize his ability to conquer death and lead transformations.
The Madagascar red jasper was only discovered in recent decades, during the 20th century. Its discovery took place in the western and southern regions of Madagascar, an island famous for its wealth of natural resources, including fossils and precious stones.
The name "jasper" derives from ancient Greek and means "stained stone" or "stone with fingers," referring to its veins and patterns that can resemble fingerprints.
