Amazonite Cicada~CRAMCIC1

Amazonite Cicada~CRAMCIC1. Cicadas, for many, represent personal change, renewal, rebirth, and transformation. Unlike a butterfly, moth, or other insects that undergo complete metamorphosis, cicadas have no pupal state. They transform from one fully-functioning state to another — one viable form, in a small amount of time, changing to another. The cicada’s transformation is similar to that of human beings. If a person wants or needs to make a change in their life, they don’t enclose themselves in a pod and emerge the next spring (I suppose some might) — more likely they remain in their human form as they change. A lot of people use cicadas to symbolize their own personal transformation, in art, song, poetry, or even a tattoo. The cicada inherently symbolizes what they were (nymph) and all the glory of what they have become (adult form). Cicadas can also be a symbol for a musician or singer since they sing. Since cicadas sing mostly during summer months, they are a symbol of summer and a precursor to the harvest. When cicada appears to you it speaks of a need to come out from hiding, to break free of what restricts you. Amazonite is a stone of personal truth, communicating this truth, and in setting the boundaries to maintain this truth. It opens and clears the throat chakra, empowering us in manifesting our dreams, desires, and intentions  through the power of the spoken word. From this centered-self (rather than self-centered) place, we can have the confidence to identify, acknowledge, own, and share our gifts and talents with the world. 75mm x 25mm x 29mm
