This is a Hypersthene, AKA Black Labradorite, Crystal pendant. Shown next to a US quarter coin in the photos. Excellent flash in this one on both sides. The setting and bail are silver toned metal. I'm not sure of the composition, and the price reflects this. Hypersthene is technically Hornblende, the trade name for this *quality* of material is Black Labradorite or Hypersthene. It is a scarce and rare material. Hornblende is commonly found in regular Labradorite, and helps bring out a "cat's eye" or chatoyant shimmering quality. It also exhibits that quality by itself. The flashes in Black Labradorite are a silvery grey color with hints of lavender. Especially prized are specimens that have a "tiger stripe" pattern to their flashes.
The photos show different angles of the same piece. You are receiving ONE (1) piece - the exact one shown in the photos. All inclusions present in the stone are 100% natural formations. Much nicer 'in person' than the photos can show! Check out how it works with subtle energies below.
It measures 2" inches long (including the bail) X 1 3/16" inches wide across at the widest point. Code-680
Black Labradorite AKA Hypersthene AKA Hornblende causes beautiful a “cat’s eye” chatoyancy or shimmering, scattered throughout the stone.
Hornblende repels negative energies, and supports one's efforts to discover and understand one's own role in attacks from other people and deal with criticism. It is useful in letting go of envy and jealousy.
Hypersthene is also very powerful as a protection stone. Like labradorite, it discourages others from tapping into your energy and draining you and it also forcefully repels negative entities.
In Crystal Healing, Hypersthene is used in treating chronic pain.
It is associated with the Solar Plexus (Third) Chakra.
Native legends speak of crystal skulls as an inheritance from ancient times. Said to “talk and sing” they are believed to carry messages for all mankind, including what may be discovered when we overcome our fear of death.
The first layer you encounter when working with any skull, including Synergy, is "to remember." This is the first layer - and this layer has many other layers within it. What you are to called to remember is who you really are. It's so easy to get caught up in the daily things and forget that each life is short and sweet, even with the difficulties. The real you is a Being of Light. You are a Spiritual Being, inside of a physical body. "Remember."
Crystal skulls are tools of awareness and they can:
Focus Energy
Reflect Energy
Attune Energy
Transmit Energy
Transform Energy
Store Energy
Amplify Energy

People have asked me about how I clear my stones. You can read my BLOG entries on this site about working with crystals and skulls for details. Every one of the skulls and stones that I list has been with Synergy and is fully charged with the energy - after all - that's the whole point of me offering them to the public!
