Phallic Blossoms NO Va Jay - Jay - Adult MATURE





In this listing one set of phallic blossom's concretions with assorted vintage agate beads, recycled copper disk, copper and sterling silver 4mm beads and a tektite meteorite specimen. This is ornament for your vehicles rear view mirror.

All three stones have been wire-wrapped in 20 gauge sterling silver round wire. BOTH phallic specimens stable and durable, one measures 3 1/4" and the partner phallic measures 3" and the tektite measure 1" square".

These solid but also delicate concretions are made of fine sand and clay, they have been sculptured and solidified by nature 10 000 years ago.

HISTORY
The originality and the unique forms of these rare stones are a phenomenon proper to Northern Quebec, especially on the bottom of the big lakes with a glacier origin. These specimens are found in the soft deposits of the Quaternary in the pounds having occupied the depression of the retreat of the glacial front.
The face of the concretion is usually smooth and regular; the other face is often rough with puffed-up spheres. The irregular lines on certain stones are caused by traces left by miniature worms or organic remains, as if the earth wanted to keep them in memory...
LEGEND
When the first Algonquin’s came up the river towards Northwestern Quebec a long time ago, they picked up the pebbles from the shores and they carried them as good luck charms when they went on fishing or hunting expedition. Lovers offered the most beautiful stones to their loved ones. The biggest specimens occupied a place of honor in their homes, or according to the legend, these stones assured protection against bad spirits. They also brought good health and prosperity to the occupants of the premises.

The etsy shopper will receive both phallic blossoms, the tektite and the black leather strap to secure to your mirror.
