Lapis Lazuli Hand Carved Sperm Whale Necklace

These sleeping giants are hand carved from the third eye stone lapis lazuli. Each comes on a cruelty free cotton cord; choose black, beige, or brown, with your choice of fixed length finished with sterling silver fastenings, or adjustable length with slip knots.

Sperm whales only sleep for approximately seven percent of their day, but when they do, it looks weird and magical. Often huddled in groups of five or six, these school bus sized cetaceans are found napping vertically near the surface of the water. Scientists believe they sleep with one eye open and one half of their brain awake. This is to control their breathing (unlike us humans who are involuntary breathers), avoid predators, and maintain social contact. How whales in the wild rest continues to be a bit of a mystery, but these captures of sperm whales napping is certainly a beautiful sight.
