Remover of Obstacles
Pendant / Slide / Brooch

Remover of Obstacles is a beautiful pendant / slide that I handcrafted from a carved Pink Peruvian Opal cameo and .925 Sterling Silver. This is a smashing carving of Lord Ganesha, the Hindu diety who is the Remover of Obstacles. The soothing energy of the pink Peruvian opal feels so right to me for Lord Ganesha, as he is also a Protector. I was tempted to keep this one myself, but I'd be overrun with Ganeshas if I kept them all!

The pendant is approximately 2.4 " (62.1 mm) long with a bail to accommodate chains up to 8.5 mm in size. It also comes with a classy half moon bar pin so you can wear it as a brooch pin too.

In alignment with the properties of the carved stone, I crafted this piece with the prayer and intent that the wearer be blessed with gentle removal of obstacles in his or her life.
