Tibetan Quartz Crystal Pendulum - Two Tibetan Quartz Crystals Electroformed Copper, Oxidized Copper Chain This beautiful pendulum was handcrafted by Hawkhouse, a little island studio on Martha’s Vineyard. Electroforming involves hand painting a conductive bezel on each stone and then "growing" copper on it while it's submerged in an electrochemical solution. Hawkhouse is very eco-friendly and uses many recycled materials in their artistic processes. The chain connecting the large and small quartz crystals is copper, oxidized much more heavily - to almost black - on the section nearest the larger crystal. Quartz is an all-around master healing stone. It assists with manifestation of intentions, clarity of mind, and removing energy blockages. It supports all the chakras but it is especially helpful in activating the crown chakra and expanding consciousness. To learn more about gemstone properties, click here. This lovely pendulum comes in its own little bag! Measurements Total length: 8.5 inches Large quartz crystal: 1.5 x 0.8 inches 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.
