Selket is an Ancient Egyptian Goddess of the Dead, Magic, & the Underworld. Crowned with a Scorpion, she was closely tied with them, considered to rule over all poisonous creatures and able to heal their venomous stings/bites, embodying venom as the antidote. Her roles included guarding the dead; the canopic jars that held the viscera of the dead gathered during the mummification process, as well as guiding souls through the Underworld realms. Her protective qualities stem from when she guarded Isis during childbirth, as well as protecting her son Horus from the scorpions and poisonous creatures of the marshes where he was born. Later, those same scorpions would become guardians to Isis, thus marking the Scorpion as a protective symbol as well as a destructive one, due to its deadly venom. This dual nature places the Scorpion in a circle of endless renewal and endless death, as Paracelsus said: ‘The Scorpion Cures the Scorpion.’

Our largest life cast Scorpion features a faceted tear gemstone set in place of its head, representing a vessel where the wearer’s grief, anxiety, uncertainty, fear, and other turbulent emotions can be absorbed by Scorpion. As a talisman, this highly tactile jewel assists in carrying these heavier feelings for the wearer and can be worn as a protective companion or as a striking statement piece.

Moonstone:  is closely tied to the moon, with some cultures believing the stone is solidified moon rays, while others think of them as embodiments of the moon's tears. Acting as a kind of Psychic armor, it is thought to protect its wearer from not only dark nights, but dark times; it helps sooth grief, loss, and other emotional turbulence.

Moonstone is known for its powerful psychic abilities. Used to protect empaths & sensitives from absorbing other people's emotions, it is also is known to be used during meditation for connecting to ones inner selves. As a romantic stone, it is known to strengthen the bonds between lovers when given as gifts, especially during the full moon.

As they are entirely natural, earth made stones, color and clarity will vary from stone to stone. Moonstone often has a milky appearance and natural inclusions that appear as lines or inner 'cracks.’ The flash will contain shades of blue, violet or teal, and occasionally hints of gold.

These jewels are hand cut and therefore may have very slight differences in size and may have small signs of the carver's hands along the edges. These are not fabricated by a machine, they are made by hand and therefore aren't uniformly perfect. The photographs accurately portray the quality of the stones and the cuts.
