Runes Stone Set in Pouch - Black Onyx

A full set of black onyx rune stones in a printed cotton pouch: twenty-five polished stones of glossy black onyx, each about 2cm, twenty-four engraved with the Elder Futhark and one left blank. Onyx is the shiniest of the dark rune stones, a mirror-black that shows the engraved letters crisply and catches candlelight, and in crystal practice it is the stone of strength, focus and protection, which makes this the set for a reader who wants to feel steady while casting. Runes are the old Germanic alphabet, each of the twenty-four letters also a word and a meaning, used for divination since the early centuries AD and by some accounts for much longer. At fifteen pounds it is the lowest-priced rune set on the shelf and the one bought as a first set, for a teenager, or for a workshop, without giving anything up in the stone. The set weighs 215g and the pouch keeps it together in a bag.
