Runes Stone Set in Pouch - Crystal

A full set of clear crystal rune stones in a printed cotton pouch: twenty-five polished stones of clear quartz, each about 1.5cm, twenty-four engraved with the Elder Futhark and one left blank. Clear quartz is the neutral, all-purpose stone of crystal practice, read as amplifying whatever is set with it, so this is the rune set that leans towards no particular quality and suits any question, and it is the one teachers recommend to someone buying their first set when no other stone calls to them. The stones are small and glassy, and the engraved letters show best against a dark cloth, where the whole cast looks like ice on black. Runes are the old Germanic alphabet, twenty-four letters that are also words and meanings, used for divination since the early centuries AD and, by some accounts, far earlier. The pouch keeps the set together in a bag, and the whole thing weighs 230g.
