A great gift for cat lovers!
The lovingly designed gemstone engraving made of selenite measures approx. 9.5 x 5.5 x 5.5 cm.
Cats have always fascinated people with their duality of cuddliness and independence, of pet and predator. As cuddly cats, they enjoy being close to humans, allowing themselves to be stroked, fed and played with. But the cat decides when it has had enough - not the human - and shows this clearly.
Selenite was already known to the Romans and was used as a window pane instead of glass, as Glass could not yet be made flat and transparent at that time. In the encyclopaedia "Naturalis historia", Pliny the Elder (23 - 79) described the mining and use of selenite. The Romans called the mineral "lapis specularis", i.e. "mirror stone". The name selenite is derived from the Greek goddess of the moon, Selene.
Placed in an important place for you, the selenite cat reminds you that everything has two sides: Where there is light, there is also shadow, where there is sorrow, there is also joy. Use the power of the cat to think through your projects and plans carefully. What are the (possible) downsides, what positive aspects can arise? And - in the spirit of the cat - make independent decisions about how and with whom you share your time and attention.
The animal engravings are varnished to protect them from dust and scratches.
