Shungite Pendulum

Shungite Pendulum (shop SKU PEND100) is a pendulum on the shelves at Namaste Bookshop in Manhattan.

A pendulum is a weighted point, usually of stone or metal, hung from a chain or cord and used in dowsing or worn as a pendant. The listing does not make a medical claim, and we do not either. Shungite is a carbon-rich rock, and elite or noble shungite is the more lustrous, silver-black variety.

It comes from the Shunga area of Karelia, Russia. In crystal traditions, it is associated with purification and protection. Those ideas belong to folklore and personal practice, not to any medical claim. Natural color and pattern vary from piece to piece.
