Although beautiful naturally, sometimes dying sand dollars can enhance their natural beauty. Their colors may inspire you to purchase one that you feel speaks to you. The seven chakras, Sanskrit for wheels, are energy centers found in the body, and according to Hindu teachings these relate to seven colors, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Purple. Consider the energy that this life form had and allow it to bring balance to your life. Handmade and signed by Rebecca Chapa Sand Dollars are a natural product. Although we have sealed five "doves" and sand in your dollar, sand may sift through them. Please handle with care as breakage could invite the beach into your home! ABOUT THE SAND DOLLAR The Pacific sand dollar lives in sea beds below low tide. Live sand dollars are fuzzy and covered in dark purplish spines. They generally live six to ten years at which point their bare white exoskeleton may wash up on the beach.
