Deer are a symbol of purity and innocence, but also of strength, grace, and speed. In Celtic mythology, the stag was considered an otherworldly guide that led people on spiritual journeys, offering insights and wisdom. It represented the importance of listening to one’s intuition and following inner guidance. The stag could also represent the forest itself.  The antlers resemble tree branches and carry these like a crown. The stag also represents speed, agility, and sexual prowess. All these are integral to nature’s regenerative power, signified by how stags shed their antlers in autumn and regrow them in spring.
 
Incolay is a complex combination of quartz-based minerals such as Rose Quartz, Sapphire Blue, Sardonyx, Carnelian, Onyx and Banded Agate, combined to produce beautiful hand-stratified pieces. The two chemically fuse together into one solid piece of Incolay Stone. Each Piece is handcrafted and has a one-of-a-kind stone formation. 
No two pieces can ever be identical.
