Owl — Eastern Greek fluorite carved idol, 4th-3rd century BC. (H: 48mm)

The tridimensional mini-sculpture is depicting the famous owl of Athens or ‘Athens noctua.’

This sculpture can be seen as a votive idol or a very precious protective amulet empowered by the image linked to the Goddess of wisdom and strategy.

This ancient micro-sculpture is carved in an extraordinary deep purple bicolor fluorite.

—

The mythological animal is characterized by horizontal elongated head with big rounded open-eyes.

The head feathers and the pupils are deeply carved.

The face is frontal while the body is turned to the left. The wings and some other feathers are represented by the same carved-lines.

The posture of the bird and the general appearance are referring to the mythological owl of the Goddess Athena, symbol of the city of Athens, Greece.

This unique specimen is a beautiful example of the ancient craftsmanship from the choice of the bicolor fluorite and its artisitc treatment, combining both the stone and the mythic animal characteristics to emphasize the power of the symbolic, hence the protective function of the sculpture.

During the Antiquity, the amulets, sculpted figures and vessels productions in fluorite are attested in ancient Greece and Rome as a precious stone, renowned for the wonderful colors and the perfect cleavage of crystals.

According to current studies, fluorite is referrable to the ancient and precious Murra, which is used to produce cups and table vases.

The oldest mention is from Sesto Properzio.

The most complete description is by Caius Pliny the Second, who considers it a gem, although it was not considered as such, for example, by the jurist Cassio Longino around 50 AD.

This depends entirely on how birthstone is defined and the source of information - by month (modern or traditional and what is the time frame), by zodiac (e.g. Western, Chinese/Eastern, Vedic, Celtic) or by day of the week you were born. And if you add different cultural interpretations, I'm sure everyone finds one they like.

The list below is definitely not perfect by any means because the web is full of different interpretations and sites. A fun addition is that terms birthstone and lucky stone are interchangable.

Mine looks like this and I like the variety.

Day: ruby, emerald

Birth hour (probably western): onyx

Western by sign (tropical): ruby

Western by sign and my native country (Finnish, not birthstone but rather "lucky stone"): jasper, onyx chalcedony, garnet, hematite, rhodochrosite, sodalite, moonstone, tourmaline, clear quartz, obsidian

Western by time frame: 15th–20th century; bloodstone, ruby -  U.S. (1912); turquoise, lapis lazuli -  UK (2013); tanzanite, turquoise - U.S. (2019); turquoise, zircon, tanzanite

Western by month: turquoise, tanzanite, zircon, beryl

Chinese by year sign: diamond, smoky quartz, hematite, agate, tiger's eye, carnelian, bronzite, cat's eye, chrysoberyl, citrine, eudialyte, golden rutilated quartz, golden topaz, manganocalcite, moonstone, rainbow fluorite, septaria, silver rutilated quartz, tiger iron, white noble opal, yellow citrine

Chinese by element: topaz

Chinese by animal and gender: chrysoberyl, chrysoprase, sapphire

Vedic by planet ruler: blue sapphire

Vedic by month: turquoise, tanzanite, blue zircon, topaz

Vedic by ascendant (rising sign): diamond, sapphire, emerald, blue sapphire

Celtic by month: turquoise

Celtic by birth sign: clear quartz

I’ve never met anyone who likes their birthstone. Reblog + put in the tags what yours is, if you like it and what birthstone you’d rather have.
