Giraffe agate— Intuition
also known as Twiga agate (from twiga, the Swahili word for giraffe) or turtle back agate—is a unique chalcedony stone from Tanzania named for its distinct, patchy outer patterns that resemble a giraffe's coat.
while I am sitting here holding the stone and rubbing the rough spots on the stone, I hear let go of what no longer serves you, like skin off your back. Letting go can be really scary, not knowing what life will be like after. Like walking into the light after hiding in the dark.
Change is hard so don't be afraid to dig deep. Anything worth wild is hard.
There are some sharp edges that you can rub your thumb or finger it is a reminder that is there something you are afraid to move forward on, this is reminding you to move forward do that hard thing that needs to be done.

*listen well and trust what you hear, feel what you know.
