These carvings are of weeping Angels, (no, not the nasty ones from Dr Who), which is the most popular result from a search for “Weeping Angel”. The weeping angel is a symbol representing sorrow, grief, and mourning and may provide comfort for the grief people may be feeling.

This piece weighs 160g and measures 12cm x 4cm x 3cm.

Also the “Weeping Angel” has been thought to symbolise having the courage to face your past. You are only safe if you look at them, if you face them. And if you look away, ingore them, they catch up to you and consume you, wasting your future. It’s kind of like saying you have to be brave enough to face your past, but also you must learn from it so it cannot consume you preventing you from enjoying your future.

Angel of Grief or the Weeping Angel is an 1894 sculpture by William Wetmore Story for the grave of his wife Emelyn Story at the Protestant Cemetery in. Rome.

This was Story's last major work prior to his death, dying a year after his wife. The statue's creation was documented in an 1896 issue of Cosmopolitan Magazine: according to this account, his wife's death so devastated Story that he lost interest in sculpture, but was inspired to create the monument by his children, who recommended it as a means of memorializing the woman. Unlike the typical angelic grave art, "this dramatic life-size winged figure speaks more of the pain of those left behind" by appearing "collapsed, weeping and draped over the tomb"

Which ever way your beliefs guide you these pieces are beautifully crafted and may provide inspiration to those in need.

This wonderful material from India is also known as Sabalgarh Marble, Ujuba, Urancia, Azubalite Jasper or Ajooba Jasper.

Geologists who see this material are a little puzzled as to exactly how it formed. It is certainly not a typical Breccia or Conglomerate.

Sure, there are a number of unusual jaspers to be found in diverse parts of the world, but Fruit Jasper sourced from the interior of India has held people dumbfounded with wonder. The speckled appearance of this particular stone makes it highly coveted but fakes are not unheard of either given its popularity.

In general, Jasper is known as the “supreme nurturer”. It sustains and supports during times of stress, and brings tranquility and wholeness. Used in healing, Jasper unifies all aspects of your life. Jasper reminds people to help each other.

The word Jasper comes from “iaspi” a Greek word that means “spotted stone”. Jasper is an opaque rock of virtually any colour stemming from the mineral content of the original sediments or ash. Patterns arise during the consolidation process forming flow and depositional patterns in the original silica rich sediment or volcanic ash, Hydrothermal action is generally thought to be required in the formation of jasper.

Jasper can be modified by the diffusion of minerals along discontinuities providing the appearance of vegetative growth, i.e., dendritic. The original materials are often fractured and/or distorted, after deposition, into diverse patterns, which are later filled in with other colourful minerals. Weathering, with time, will create intensely coloured superficial rinds.

The classification and naming of jasper varieties presents a challenge. Terms attributed to various well-defined materials includes the geographic locality where it is found, sometimes quite restricted such as "Bruneau" (a canyon) and "Lahontan" (a lake), rivers and even individual mountains; many are fanciful, such as "forest fire" or "rainbow", while others are descriptive, such as "autumn" or "porcelain". A few are designated by the place of origin such as a brown Egyptian or red African.
