This vessel references the nature of a woman in terms of putting life inside her body and preserving it. Security, inner stability, composure, and maturity are key characteristics of women in the world, and that is a reason why women can be mothers. They naturally embrace people they love. The inside of the pot presents a woman’s womb, so I put an Agate in the center of circle.

Agate promotes inner stability, composure, and maturity. Its warm, protective properties encourage security and self-confidence. It is a great crystal to use during pregnancy. Agate also helps new mothers avoid the "baby blues" sometimes experienced after giving birth, and an Agate jewel worn between the breasts encourages lactation.
