Dowsing pendulums are excellent tools for enabling your intuition to answer questions, provide guidance or search for things.

This pretty glass pendulum is filled to the brim with amethyst chips, crushed amethyst and resin. It is pleasingly weighty and from the loop on the cap to the base, it measures 4cm (about 1½ inches). The chain, which is finished with an amethyst bead, and pendulum itself, measure around 21cm (just over 8 inches) in length.

Amethyst is a natural tranquiliser offering gentle healing. It may relieve stress and strain, soothe irritability, balance mood swings, dispel anger, rage, fear and anxiety. This gemstone is particularly good for obsessive behaviours and addictions. It’s also said to be useful for money and legal issues. It assists with sadness and grief, helping to dissolve   negativity. Ideas may come together as focus is achieved and thoughts may transform into actions. Amethyst can increase spiritual awareness and enhance psychic ability.

The chain has been attached to the pendulum with a lobster clasp and a small split ring. If desired, the chain could be removed and the pendulum strung on a cord or chain to wear around your neck, or even attached to a handbag or keyring. You should be aware though, that none of the metal elements in this item are jewellery grade and are not guaranteed hypoallergenic.

Although this pendulum is pretty substantial as it’s been stabilised with resin, do note the container itself is glass so please treat it with care. If dropped onto a hard surface it could crack and release tiny shards of glass.

The pendulum will arrive in a printed black linen-mix gift bag which also contains the descriptive enclosure (photographed) that tells the new owner of this unique item all about its qualities. A one metre length of 1mm black cord is also included.
