Turritella & Cypress Burl Wood Mala Necklace ~ Raven

Raven

Mischievous and curious, the Raven symbolizes the unknown and is there to show that every person sees the world in a different way as another.

Element of Earth
Turritella
Stone of Survival

Turritella is a stone of strength and protection. Ancient life held within its form lends the power of wisdom and healing. It is a stone of personal connection with one’s past – ancestry, homeland, and the country from which those ancestors came. It stops the burning desires for things we do not need, and assists those juggling commitments.

Cypress Wood
Element of Earth

Cypress wood is the ancient symbol of solace, often depicted as the Tree of Life as it represents everlasting life. Its strength and sturdiness support us when we can bear no more, giving a solid foundation where one can process emotions without feeling overwhelmed. Highly aromatic, its scent is calming and often aids in protection of the respiratory system.

The rare, figured cypress wood found in this collection is harvested from the root system or burl wood and only after a tree has died off naturally; no live trees are harmed.

Job’s Tear

The seed in this collection, Coix lacryma-jobi, is known by many names… Job’s Tears, Tear Grass, Pearl Barley, and Adlay Millet. It’s one of the earliest grasses cultivated as a source of food, medicine, and ornamentation, originating in Southeast Asia. Job’s Tears are now found throughout North and Central America and has been used for thousands of years in jewelry as the grass blade forms a natural hole for stringing.

Each mala necklace is made by hand:

• with 108, 8mm gemstone and cypress wood beads
• hand-knotted on silk
• Job’s Tear at the 27th markers

Please note that healing crystals should be used for spiritual support to healing and should not replace advice from a physician.
