This piece is hand made and one of a kind by Laura McCann in Ausitn, TX.
This is a Mala prayer bead necklace with the auspicious number of 108, 6mm Black Obsidian rounds with a 15 inch drop or a 30 inch circumference in total. This necklace can be worn long or wrapped around the wrist 4 times.
This is an enamel amulet in gold fill with a marcasite rim and an image of the sun setting over the water.
Black obsidian powerfully eliminates negative energies in oneself and one's environment. It is like a psychic vacuum cleaner, cleansing the auric field of disharmony, negative attachments, astral "junk" and one's own emanations of anger, greed, fear, resentment, etc. It is a strong grounding stone, stimulating the root chakra to make its connection with the earthstar chakra below the feet, and deep in to the core of the earth.
This amulet reminds me of a quote I love from the Gita... "I see the divine splendor of an infinite beauty which illuminates the whole universe “ The Bhagavad Gita
