This is a pendant and earring set made by me using clear, double terminated crystal Quartz points and silver plated charms. A silver plated 20" chain is also included. The ear wires are silver plated as well.
As these are made to order, the crystals will vary in size, shape, etc. Style of bail will vary as well depending on my inventory. Photos show sample products.
The ultimate shaman's stone, clear Quartz has been used as an aid in magical and divinatory acts since time immemorial. It is an excellent amplifier of magical energy. Quartz also amplifies the power of other stones.
The pentacle (or pentagram) is a very old symbol, dating back thousands of years. It has been used by many different cultures and religions over the millennia. It was even used by Christianity at one point to represent the 5 wounds of Christ.
In modern times it has been adopted by the Wiccan/Neo Pagan movement as a banner symbol (kind of like what the cross is to Christianity).
In this incarnation, the pentacle has come to represent 5 elements: earth, air, fire, water, and spirit. Spirit is at the apex above all. For this reason it is favored by Wiccans to use/have present in circle when calling the quarters.
This is just a quick overview, the history and uses of the 5-pointed star is long and varied and I encourage all that are interested to research it for themselves, as it is an interesting and worthwhile subject!
