Quartz Crystal Pendulum With Mixed Metals & Stones Copper, Titanium, Shungite, & Beach Stone This unusual pendulum plays with a variety of mixed metals and stones, so you end up with a nice variety or earthy tones and textures. The pendulum tip is a copper electroplated quartz crystal, which has a very slight greenish hue. The grip consists of one shungite rondelle stacked upon one buff colored natural beach stone. Partway up the chain is a round copper link that serves as a secondary grip for those who prefer a shorter drop. The pendulum comes in its own little velvet bag! Measurements Total length: 7.0 inches Quartz crystal with bail: 0.9 inch Pendulums & Dowsing A pendulum can be used as a dowsing tool. What is dowsing? Master dowsers Maggie and Nigel Percy define dowsing the following way: "Dowsing is a way to get answers to questions you cannot answer rationally. Old time dowsers would search for where to drill for water. You can't know where to drill using only your rational mind. You'd have to guess. So they used dowsing, an intuitive method that gives you answers to questions you can't answer logically. Good water dowsers are usually correct over 90% of the time when they dowse a location for a well. Most dowsers use a tool of some kind to indicate the “yes” or “no” answer to the question, and a pendulum works nicely for this. For more information about dowsing, the books by Maggie and Nigel Percy are an excellent resource.
