Shungite & Hammered Copper Pendulum on Stainless Steel Chain, Embossed Circle Link Grip

This fun, one-off pendulum plays with mixed metals and textures!

A rounded shungite cube bead is suspended from stainless steel paper clip chain by a hammered copper triangle bail, which allows the bead to swivel. The bail is made from raw copper wire, so will naturally oxidize and age over time. 

The grip consists of a copper ring with an embossed pattern oxidized into it. 

The pendulum comes in its own little velvet bag!

Total length: 7.25 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.
