Runes Stone Set in Pouch - Yellow Onyx

A full set of yellow onyx rune stones in a printed cotton pouch: twenty-five polished stones of yellow onyx, banded in honey, amber and cream, twenty-four engraved with the Elder Futhark and one blank, and at 325g one of the heavier sets, with stones that sit well in the hand. Yellow onyx is the warm banded stone, closer to a polished pebble of butterscotch than to the black onyx most people picture, and every stone is banded its own way, so each rune has its own face before the letter is read. In crystal practice onyx is the stone of strength and focus, and the warm colour softens that into something steadier and kinder, the set for a reader who wants calm weight on the table. Runes are the old Germanic alphabet, twenty-four letters that are also words and meanings, cast for divination since the early centuries AD and perhaps far earlier. The pouch keeps the set together in a bag.
