Sand Dollar Dome #854

Description

Sand dollars are given spiritual meaning by some Christians. According to some legends and poems, the sand dollar represents the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.  The five slits in sand dollars are said to represent Christ’s wounds during his time on the cross. On one side of the sand dollar is what looks like an Easter lily with a star in the middle, which serves as a reminder of the birth of Christ. The star of Bethlehem is the star that the shepherds followed to see the baby Jesus, according to the biblical tale. On the opposite side of the sand dollar is an outline of a poinsettia, or Easter lily, a flower that represents the Christmas season. Sand dollars are also symbols of peace. Legend has it that there are five doves inside the shells that are free to bring goodwill to the world when the sand dollar is broken.  Quartz is known as the “Master Healer”, with its very high vibration, and is the most versatile healing stone among all crystals.  Quartz is said to be the most powerful healing stone of the mineral kingdom, able to work on any condition.  Quartz is known as the stone of power and amplifies any energy or intention.  Quartz is said to protect against negativity, attune to your higher self, and relieve pain.

A typical indicator is the feeling of impending madness. Aluminum encourages the facility to express feelings, and releases behavioral patterns of holding onto things as well as holding back and stimulates the desire for change and alteration.  Aluminum helps with the loss of identity, finding ourselves again, and who we really are and our task in life. It encourages a sense of reality, soberness and alertness at any given moment, aids recognition of the seductions of modern life as the illusions they are and helps us to deal with them.  Dome is 4″ x 2″
