Perplexing White ALABASTER Vase – Double-sided Painting (Eye of Ra – Winged Scarab) – Used for Spiritualism – Handmade in Egypt
$132
This is a white alabaster vase, handmade from Egypt with paintings on both sides of the vase.
The first painting is the eye of Ra. (The eye is represented in amulets capable of repelling all negative energy and restoring harmony. That’s why the pharaohs used them to defend themselves against any element or enemy that tried to destabilize their government.)
The second painting is the winged scarab. (This kind of beetle was highly symbolic to ancient Egyptians, it represented rebirth and renewal. They believed that the sun was pushed across the sky every day by a giant scarab, the god Khepri)

Alabaster can draw forgiveness, whether it be you that needs self-forgiveness or the ability to forgive someone that has done you wrong. It also draws energy from other stones as well, meaning you can “soak” up the energy of one stone and have the properties of both stones with you while only carrying the alabaster. It helps to draw anger out of a person and release it to the light.
This stone is the “alabaster” of the ancient Egyptians and Bible and is often termed Oriental alabaster since the early examples came from the Far East. The Greek name alabastrites is said to be derived from the town of Alabastron in Egypt, where the stone was quarried. The locality probably owed its name to the mineral; the origin of the mineral name is obscure.
The “Oriental” alabaster was highly esteemed for making small perfume bottles or ointment vases called alabastra; the vessel name has been suggested as a possible source of the mineral name. In Egypt, craftsmen used alabaster for canopic jars and various other sacred and sepulchral objects. A sarcophagus discovered in the tomb of Seti I near Thebes is on display in Sir John Soane’s Museum, London; it is carved in a single block of translucent calcite alabaster from Alabastron.X
