Dragonite o Blue Sandstone Cat Cameo
The Cat embodies the instinctive side of Nature, it is a free and independent animal.
In many cultures, the cat was revered as a sacred being.
In Egypt Bastet, represented with the body of a woman and the head of a Cat, was the goddess of health and protective deity of fertility, motherhood and earthly joys (dance, music and sexuality).
In his left hand, a sacred amulet in the shape of a cat's eye was often depicted, the utchat, which had magical powers, as it protected against theft, disease and accidents, and was given to the spouses as a gift for many children.
During the period of the Inquisition, however, above all the black cat, which recalled the cat of Lilith, the first rebellious and free woman, was associated with darkness and assumed a nefarious reputation, considered animal of the devil and friend of witches, then burned alive together with the his mistress.
The cat is considered an empathic animal for its sensory abilities including that of capturing the negative energies of the environment and catalyzing them on itself, for this reason it is considered therapeutic for humans.
The Cat is a silent and meditative animal, it instinctively knows the secrets of well-being and harmony, in fact the Zen monks believed that it was able to "show the Way".
Much of its exceptional qualities depend on the senses. A super fine hearing, a prodigious sense of smell, a sight that works even in the dark, are "tools" so sophisticated that they allow this feline to "see" a much wider reality than what is within our reach, even in the darkness of the subconscious. .
Symbol of the bond that exists between the human world and the spiritual world, sensitive, intuitive, magical.
The cat is often associated with the most indomitable and elusive aspects of the female soul.
Cunning, mischievous, sinuous, insidious, mysterious, seductive, independent.

The name Dragonite derives from the desire to associate an important meaning to such a particular stone.
Since it seems to have the entire galaxy trapped inside, it was also thought that its origins were to be connected to a particular place, so the belief spread that this stone could only be extracted from the head of a sleeping dragon, since, when he woke up, the same stone would have melted making it impossible to pick up.
In reality, Blue Sandstone is not a real mineral, rather a translucent crystalline paste inside which, during the melting, a certain amount of beating of iron, metallic silicon or carbon is added, and which when cooled completely separates from the glass of base, dispersing homogeneously in tiny crystals.
It is therefore the presence of copper deposits that tends to give the material a shimmer reminiscent of the stars in space.
The Blue Sandstone is therefore a blue sandstone, and its characteristics concern the improvement of concentration and the increase of intelligence. It is also believed that it improves work efficiency and study skills.
We can therefore use it in meditation when we want to become aware of who we are and where we come from.
It is also useful for connecting to infinite space, to the sense of the Creation of the cosmos, even simply by observing its changing luminous dots, which seem to wink just like the stars.
Blue Sandstone purification and refill
Being a glass, it does not require special energy purification, although the method of rinsing it under running water and exposing it, in this case, outdoors on a starry night, with or without the presence of the Moon, is always valid.
