You've likely heard of him, even use his name in everyday life when you look at a map. He is the ultimate symbol of strength and endurance, the Ancient Greek Titan Atlas, bears the cosmos and turns the sky on his shoulders for eternity. These are carved from Ocean Jasper and Lepidolite. They are 3.9" tall and weigh 5.4 OZ. In keeping with its symbolism, ocean jasper is said to provide calm, uplifting energy to the holder in trying times, feeding into a more optimistic outlook on life. The stone aids clearer communication, and enhances self-confidence as well as self-insight. The ore is found in a remote location on the northwest coast of Madagascar near the town of Ambolobozo. The mine is only accessible at low tide and the jasper is carried by ox- driven carts to small boats, which sail to the nearest town; from there, it is shipped to the factory.

Lepidolite is a Phyllosilicate mineral from the mica group. It was first called Lilalite because of its lavender coloring. It comes in shades of lilac and pink and even purple-grey. It is often found in scaly smaller aggregates and is known for its high levels of lithium. The meaning of Lepidolite is said to help with emotional balance and inner peace.
