** Information on this Gemstone **
Mystical Properties: There is an ancient Indian legend about Leopardskin Agate. They believed that before man, dark beings lived alone on the earth. They didn't like the darkness, so they sent a messenger to the Leopard, Numi. Numi was a black leopard, whose eyes provided the only light in the darkness. The messenger asked Numi to intercede with the Great Spirit to bring light into the world. He answered that the dark beings had great importance in the manner of things and without them, there would not be the heavens. If the Light Beings were allowed to enter the earth, they would push aside the Dark Beings and they would then be of lesser importance and treated poorly. He asked the messenger if his people could accept this. The messenger didn't know, but he said yes anyway. It is said thus began the war between Light and Dark. Numi asked the Earth to create a stone to help beings see the Dark Ones. Thusly the legend says, Leopardskin Agate was created as a bridge to the deepest essences and mysteries--to help reveal that which is NOT known.
