The Orangutan is a strong and gentle guide often associated with communication, manifestation, and the relationship between mother and child. It is a familial guide that reminds us to deepen bonds with those important to us. This is a creature of analytical thought which teaches us to use determination and intellectual thought to overcome hardship and gain control of our environment. Resourcefulness comes as a strong trait to those who connect with Orangutan with a knack for expressive communication and a nurturing inclination to others. There are two species of Orangutan: Bornean and Sumatran. The Bornean Orangutans are known for their larger size and more pronounced cheek pads, called Flanges. Even the solitary members of the species will develop deep bonds between mother and child with the longest span of time between births of any animal. This enables the young to stay with the mother up to 7 years or until it is ready to live on it's own. Orangutans are the only Asian native species of the four Great Ape species.
The Diptocarps, or Dipterocarpaceae, are a family of tropical, hardwood trees comprised of approximately 600 species.

While they come in a range of sizes, the largest tropical tree, and second largest tree, in the world is a Diptocarp found in Sabah, Malaysia and measures up to 328'. These trees form the backbone of their environments by producing a wide range of pollen, fruits, nectar, and habitats for other species and wildlife.

The Red Agate is a volcanic rock comprised of chalcedony and quartz that was often used in Ancient Greece and Egypt decorations or jewelry. It is formed in gaps in volcanic rock where silica-rich fluids fill the cavity in layers. Over time, this develops into various forms of Agate depending on how the rock cavity is filled. When the Agate forms within, the points of each crystal will point towards the center of the cavity. It is said to have been discovered by a Greek philosopher named Theophrastus sometime between the 3rd and 4th centuries BC in Sicily along the Achates River. While often confused with Jasper, Red Agate is translucent and can often come with bands of lighter red or white color. This stone is said to bring a passion to move forward, encouraging you to push for goals and protect the ones you love. Red Agate brings emotional stability which enables us to build our self-confidence and feelings of security. With this feeling of foundation, we are able to grow forward in expansive ways with a feeling of safety. It reminds us to develop our sense of reason, finding calm in self-analysis and positive decision making.
