Magic Pendulum - Moonstone

A moonstone dowsing pendulum, cut by hand from the milky feldspar whose soft sheen slides across the surface as it moves. Moonstone has long been tied to the moon and its cycle, and in crystal practice it is read as the stone of new beginnings and intuition, so many readers keep it for questions asked at the new moon.

The pendulum hangs on a silver-plated chain of about 170mm with a gemstone bead at the top end to hold, so the chain does not slip through the fingers. At around 17g it is light enough to answer a small movement and heavy enough to settle cleanly, which suits beginners and map dowsing alike. Hold the bead between thumb and finger, let the point go still, and ask.

Each pendulum is handmade from natural stone, so the size, cut and depth of sheen vary from the photographs. It pairs with a black divination cloth, where the pale stone shows clearly.

Gemstone and silver-plated chain. Chain approximately 170mm. Weighs about 17g. From India.
