Vasuki! He's even on a black stone

Vasuki​

This other Naga king is best known as a companion of Lord Shiva. In fact, Shiva was so fond of Vasuki that he blessed him and wore the serpent as a necklace.

Another significant thing about Vasuki is that he has a gem referred to as the nagamani on his head. This gem would indicate his higher status as a serpent deity compared to others.

Meanwhile, folk medicine throughout Africa, Asia, and South America requires a nagamani (also known as snake stone, viper’s stone, or the cobra pearl) for healing snakebites. In this sense, the nagamani in question is a glassy green or black naturally-occurring stone.

So interesting you are suggesting that name and my immediate reaction to it! I grew up very Hindu (my parents speak Telegu and Kannada) and sang Carnatic songs and did Bharatanatyam dances about Shiva and Vasuki (pronounced VAHsuki with the stress on the first syllable). It is such a perfect name but because of the association would prefer to name is something more neutral.

August is the first name that came to mind for me! I guess cause the nickname for August is Augie and it’s an Agate. And I just looked up popular male names in 1880 and it is one of them! This is such a beautiful piece btw! Wow!

Auggie is adorable! And it reminds me of agate! So neat it is the birthstone of August! Thank you!!!

Azaria, maybe?
