This is a pendant made with a Fossilized Palm Root cabochon and an Obsidian bead.  With the wrapped patinated copper bail it is approximately 60mm / 2.4 inches long.   
 
Palm Root is the fossilized form of the root system of the Indonesian palm.  Over millions of years and due to great pressure, the palm root underwent the petrification process wherein each carbon atom is slowly replaced with a silicon atom; this is also known as the agitization process.
 
Palm root carries with it a timeless wisdom and knowledge of the earth.  Work with palm root to transform any old energies into a stable, tranquil foundation.  Palm root is an excellent grounding stone as it assists to dissolve fear and clear confusion of current life situations.  It is also said to:
Release negative behaviors and eases feelings of depression or anxiety.
Brings physical and energetic protection.
Balances and soothes emotions.
Can aid in expanding positive beliefs to uplift one’s mind and body.
Reveals the pathway for self-discovery and supports patience and a gentle transformation.
 
Obsidian is a stone formed by lava that didn’t have enough time to cool into glass. This volcanic glass aids in protection, grounding, and spiritual communication. Known as a “psychic vacuum cleaner”, Black Obsidian gets rid of all the junk and cleanses all negativity out of your auric field and environment. This stone has powerful grounding frequencies and will heavily assist in psychic protection when needed. Obsidian also brings out all of our creative energies so that they may be intertwined and influence our every action.
