Product Details Contents: 24 Elder Futhark runes plus 1 blank rune (25 stones) Material: black agate Markings: runes in gold Size: approximately 1/2 inch to 1 inch each Includes: a drawstring pouch (color varies) SKU: RRAGAB Most solid-black agate on the market is color-enhanced (dyed), a long-standing and stable practice; color and size vary from piece to piece The Spiritual Significance Runes are the letters of the Elder Futhark, the oldest runic alphabet, used by Germanic and Norse peoples both to write and to divine. Each of its twenty-four runes names a force or idea, from Fehu, cattle and wealth, to Othala, home and inheritance, so a rune drawn is less a letter than a piece of counsel. The blank twenty-fifth stone is a modern addition, often called Wyrd or the rune of fate, left empty for what cannot yet be named; some readers use it and others set it aside. Agate is among the oldest protective and grounding stones in human use, worn and carried for steadiness and shelter for thousands of years. The black form draws those qualities toward warding and calm, an anchoring material to read with when a question feels charged. Worth knowing plainly: most solid-black agate is color-enhanced, a stable and long-accepted treatment that does not change the stone's grounding reputation.
