The Originals "What is a mineral totem?, and what is yours?"

On the last episode of "The Originals", Jackson gave Haley a pendant that was her 'mineral totem'.  He explained that she was born during a harvest moon, and what stone went along with it which is Amethyst. (I'm pretty sure he said it was an Amethyst stone, not sure though, but he did say Harvest Moon)
Now if you're a die hard fan of the show, you might want to know what your mineral totem is, and try to get a pendant of your own. Or if you're like me, a fan of the show, and of native american things, then you're interested in just knowing your mineral totem for those reasons. 
So I googled mineral totems and this is what I found.
This is straight from a website I found called crystal-cure.com.
"A totem is any natural or mythical animal to whom you feel a close connection during your life or some particular period of your life. The energy of the totem animal speaks to you in some way that is relevant to your own personality or circumstance in life.

The totem is connected to your spirit.

Native peoples of many countries have animal spirits that play a very important part in their lives. In Chinese astrology all the signs are animals and in western astrology most of the signs are animals.
By getting to know your animal totem, you can gain insight and understanding of your own life circumstances more clearly, and share in the totem power or 'medicine'. Animal totems manifest a specific kind of energy that will align to forces of the spiritual realm that are influencing your life."
If you look around on this website, you'll find your mineral totem and animals connected to it. 
It's so weird, because I've always loved butterflies, and it freaked me out when I started reading about my mineral totem. 

Corn Planting Moon: May 21 - Jun 20

May 21 - Jun 20
  • Birth Moon: Corn Planting
  • Animal Totem: Deer

  • Plant Totem: Yarrow
  • Directional Totem: Golden Eagle
  • Elemental Clan Totem: Butterfly

So as you can see, the butterfly is my elemental clan totem. My animal totem is the Deer. And on the website it explains what that means also. 
So since I knew what my mineral totem was, I looked up pendants on Etsy made with Moss Agate. I truthfully had never heard of Moss Agate, but had heard of Agate. The stone moss agate, is also known as the garden stone. Here is what the website said about Moss Agate.
Moss Agate:
Agate, specifically moss agate, is the Corn-planting Moon's mineral totem. Agate, in general, is a very stabilizing stone on all levels. This is good for Deer people whose emotions tend to run wild.
Agate can also help Deer people with stabilizing their thoughts and actions, thus enabling them to take the time to see the truth of things. Moss agate, in addition to these properties, is also an overall healing stone and can help one in finding their inner truth and courage when facing difficult situations.
Moss agate is a grounding and energizing stone that is also helpful in alleviating depression and enhancing one's dreams.
So it's very interesting that this stone is good for stabilizing thoughts and actions, because my mind does run wild sometimes. I have anxiety issues, so my emotions are kinda all over the place. 
It's truly a beautiful stone, it's transparent like in color with green veins running through it. (giving it the moss color) 
On Etsy I found the perfect pendant for me and I ordered it. Here is what it looks like. 
It's a moss agate butterfly pendant, with an added crystal quartz to amplify the healing power of the moss agate stone. 
I received it today, and I love it. It looks so neat, and I can't wait to put it on my favorite chain.

This pic is to show you the veins that run through the stone. ;)

  1. You posted on my birthday ☺ either way I know it's years later but I just watched this episode yesterday. I found the exact words Jackson says to Hayley when he gives her the necklace.

    "Um, the, uh-- the stone is moss agate. You were born under a planting moon, so it's your mineral totem. It symbolizes healing and courage, and after everything that you've done for our pack, I'd say that's just about right."

    I just had to search for my mineral totem too, haha. I found out my mineral totem is silver (I'm pretty sure) and my animal is a wolf. Which is exciting and I've always loved wolves! Plus the silver goes with the wolf, haha. It was funny to me how connected they were. Just that the silver isn't very exciting as yours is because it won't really be a pendant. Maybe I could look for a silver wolf. I really like yours though. I'll see what I can find ☺, thanks for the post.

  3. Jackson said “planting moon” not “Harvey moon”. It was moss agate that he gave to Haley. It’s a gorgeous stone.
