A petite oval cut Bloodshot Iolite is set within a frame of life cast bat bones that echoes the design of the frame of an old mirror or painting. This stunning one of a kind stone appears celestial; silvery gold flecks are layered over interesting inclusions of red iron, while light glitters within a beautifully rich warm bruise color, reminding me of the wonder of the cosmos~ akin to wearing a tiny galaxy on your hand. 

Pythia: was the name given to the high priestess at the Oracle of Delphi; always a woman, who would be possessed by the God Apollo to directly receive his enigmatic prophecies, as she inhabited a dream-like trance. When she was consulted, she was thought to have sat upon the three legged tripod of Apollo deep within the subterranean levels of the site of Delphi, which was considered to be the center or ‘navel’ of the world and the site where Apollo slayed Python, son of Gaia, a serpentine/dragon-like monster. It is from the rotting corpse of Python beneath the temple, that Pythia gets her name. Much like modern divinatory requests, it seems the Pythia was consulted for ubiquitous queries such as ‘whom should I marry?” to more potentially history changing questions from rulers about to go to war. In every instance, the Pythia’s divinations were considered to be coming directly from Apollo and therefore unimpeachable.
