Shiva Eye Gemstone

Shiva Eye Gemstone is a crystal (shop SKU EESE9) on the shelves at Namaste Bookshop in Manhattan.

A Shiva eye, or eye of Shiva, is the operculum of a sea snail, with a spiral pattern, long used in jewelry. It is an organic gem, not a mineral crystal.

Natural stones vary in color, clarity, and shape, so the piece you receive will have its own character even when the weight, grade, or size is listed.

Namaste Bookshop is on the south side of 14th Street, just west of Fifth Avenue, about a short walk from Union Square.
