Pendant with a tiny, raw Tourmaline and a deer antler symbol.
5 x 1 cm
Raw tourmaline is a mineral from the borosilicate group that crystallizes primarily in cavities and veins of igneous rocks from hot, mineral-rich solutions. It often forms elongated crystals with pronounced longitudinal striations and retains its rough, irregular structure in its natural form. Black tourmaline, known as scoryl, is among the most common varieties.
In the esoteric tradition, tourmaline is associated with protection, grounding and inner stability. The raw crystal carries the power of the earth and the ability to stand firm even in the midst of change.
Antlers have long been a symbol of strength, growth and renewal. Because deer shed their antlers every year and let them grow again, they have become an image of the natural cycle of death and new beginnings. In European, Celtic and other natural traditions, the deer is associated with the forest, wilderness, fertility and a deep connection with the natural world. The branched antlers also remind us of a tree and its branches - the connection of earth, man and sky.
The combination of raw tourmaline and the symbol of antlers creates a piece of jewelry that connects the strength of the earth with the energy of wild nature. Tourmaline represents grounding and protection, while antlers symbolize strength, growth and the ability to rise again. Together, they remind us of the natural rhythm of life - something can be put aside so that it can grow back stronger.
The construction of the jewelry is handmade from surgical steel and the connecting material is an alloy of tin and silver. The jewelry is then treated similarly to silver - we polish it once in a while. The more the jewelry is worn, the better, it polishes itself on clothes, the wearer's skin, etc. The metal is stable and does not contain nickel or heavy metals. The jewelry can be worn all the time, even in water, but it is a good idea to dry it and care for it more often afterwards. The jewelry is hung on a braided, cotton cord and secured with an enlargement knot.
