The deep purple tones of this impressive piece of Charoite highlight the magical qualities this gem possesses. There is streak of white quartz to one side, which is the inspiration for the shape of the Raven soaring in the Night Sky in the silver carving. Like a shimmer of Moonlight, or a trail of Stars, the quartz vein reminds us of the potential and possibility of Light, especially when seen against a backdrop of a dark sky.
Raven is a bird of mystery, whose habits are a reminder of the importance of communication and insight. In life it has a large vocabulary, speaking with others of its kind in many tones. The keen senses of this jet black flier are a metaphor for our own abilities to understand hidden qualities in life.
Many cultures have legends about Ravens, and in our own time, they have come to represent wisdom and knowledge, especially in the realm of self awareness.
The Moon and Stars seen with the Soaring Raven are a reminder of Time and our connection to the Cosmos. The swirling Vine interwoven with Stars that surrounds the gem reminds us of the growth and pattern of personal development.
The pendant is 1+1/4"L x 1/2"W x 3/16"D not including bail, where the chain goes through. It is shown on the 3 mm Wheat Chain.
