Magic Pendulum - Smoky Quartz

A smoky quartz pendulum: a faceted point of the brown-to-grey quartz, translucent at the edges and darker at the heart, on a silver-plated chain around 170mm long with a gemstone bead at the end to hold. Smoky quartz is the grounding member of the quartz family in crystal practice, read as protective and steadying, the stone kept by people who find clear quartz too bright, and as a pendulum it is chosen for practical questions and for dowsers who want a tool that settles fast. Dowsing goes back thousands of years and the method is unchanged: hold the pendulum still over the question, the map or the chart, and read the swing. At 17g it is light enough to answer and heavy enough to be read. At five pounds it is the cheapest gemstone pendulum in the shop and the one bought for a workshop or a first try. Natural stone, so the depth of the smoke varies. Made in India.
