FREE: EYE OF SHIVA SHELL Focal Operculum Beads

The listing, EYE OF SHIVA SHELL Focal Operculum Beads has ended.

The operculum, meaning little lid, is the anatomical structure which exists in many groups of sea snails and freshwater snails, and also in a few groups of land snails.
The operculum serves as a sort of "trapdoor" to close the opening of the shell when the soft parts of the animal are retracted. The shape of the operculum varies greatly from one family of gastropods to another. It is fairly often circular, or more or less oval in shape. In species where the operculum fits snugly, its outline corresponds exactly to the shape of the opening of the shell and it serves to seal the entrance of the shell.
The operculum of certain species of Turbinidae is sometimes used as an organic "gemstone" in jewelry. These opercula are commonly known as "cats eye" (or more recently "Shiva's Eye").

Thus...the perfect spiral we all know and love in the jewelry. Nature makes amazing things. Shiva eyes are famous and popular to manufacture extraordinary jewelry. The white Shiva Eyes come into their own handled as silver jewelry and fashion jewelry. Although the history and origin of the Shiva Eye is rather fameless. On one side of the Shiva eye shell is a beautiful spiral. On the opposite side of the spiral is a mesh of colors that resembles an eye.
The Eye of Shiva has a strong representation in Hinduism. It is the third eye in the forehead of the Hindu God Shiva. Representing wisdom it is thought to have the ability to look beyond the obvious. It symbolizes the the flow of life, the constant change of the universe, spiritual knowledge and creative visualization. As a form of Reiki this swirl symbolizes an energy force of power and strength. Eye of Shiva Shell jewelry makes for a wonderful gift because of its natural beauty combined with its spiritual meanings.
