Ether Clay Lupus Relic — Opalwolf Deathmask

This Opalwolf Deathmask is a haunting 2-inch carving of iridescent pink opal, depicting a wolf mid-snarl, its jaws clamped onto a human skull. The piece throbs with spectral rose and gold flashes—a relic for those who dare to confront the raw intersection of instinct and impermanence.

Essence

Material: Natural Pink Opal, a stone of emotional resurrection, revered for healing grief, awakening courage, and bridging the seen and unseen.

Design: Human skull crowned by a wolf in attack posture, carved with Ether Clay’s signature star fissures—jagged grooves that mimic both tooth marks and comet trails.

Purpose: A Reiki tool for shadow work, a meditation anchor to confront fears, or a threshold guardian to repel psychic predation.

Why Pink Opal in Ether Clay’s Hands?

Earth’s Pulse: Its milky veins echo the fragility of bone and the tenacity of survival.

Cosmic Ferocity: The wolf’s stance mirrors constellations like Lupus (the wolf), symbolizing untamed guardianship of life-death cycles.

Duality: Opal’s nurturing glow clashes with the wolf’s ferocity—embodying the paradox of destruction as a catalyst for rebirth.

To Use Is to Command

• Place in entryways to ward off energy vampires, the wolf’s snarl acting as a psychic barrier.
• Meditate with it to confront inner “predators” (self-doubt, fear), visualizing the opal’s light dissolving their grip.
• Gift to survivors, leaders, or those navigating transitions where endings birth beginnings.
