Mixed Metal Industrial Theme Pendulum with Shungite & Red Hairpipe Grip
Antiqued Brass, Titanium, Copper, Steel, Shungite, Hairpipe
This unique industrial-style pendulum with geometric lines contains a hodgepodge of materials, for lots of interesting visuals!
The pointy end consists of two brass pieces joined together - a triangle and a link, connected with copper rings. Although the edges appear sharp, they are nicely rounded, so very touchable.
The grip is red hairpipe in line with brass washers, copper rondelles and a shungite heishi bead - held on brass wire.
The chain is 100 percent pure titanium. This is my favorite chain (you are probably getting tired of hearing me say this).
This little pendulum puts the "fun" back in funky, and comes with its own little bag.
Measurements
Total length: 8.75 inches

Pendulums & Dowsing
A pendulum can be used as a dowsing tool. What is dowsing? Master dowsers Maggie and Nigel Percy define dowsing the following way:
"Dowsing is a way to get answers to questions you cannot answer rationally. Old time dowsers would search for where to drill for water. You can't know where to drill using only your rational mind. You'd have to guess. So they used dowsing, an intuitive method that gives you answers to questions you can't answer logically. Good water dowsers are usually correct over 90% of the time when they dowse a location for a well.
Most dowsers use a tool of some kind to indicate the “yes” or “no” answer to the question, and a pendulum works nicely for this.
For more information about dowsing, the books by are an excellent resource.
