"Haldir's Joy "
Yang/Isis Quartz Crystal & Tarnish-Resistant .925 Argentium® Sterling Silver Pendant / Slide

Blessings for High Energy & Power in Both Yin & Yang Aspects

This piece was inspired by Haldir, an elf of Lorien in the Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkein. This is a one-of-a-kind pendant / slide that I designed and crafted by hand, using only simple hand tools. No solder, no glue, just the "magic" of the design of the wirework to hold it firmly together.

The crystal in it is an awesome Yang crystal that also has an Isis face. To me that indicates a syngergistic blending of yang (masculine, aggressive) energies and yin energies (feminine, receptive), much like the powerful character of Haldir himself.

Materials Used to Handcraft this pendant:
Yang Isis Quarz Crystal (Arkansas); and
Tarnish-Resistant .925 Argentium® Sterling Silver wire.

Size: This pendant is approxiately 4.3 " (109.6 mm) from the top of the bail. The bail will accommodate a chain of approximately 6 mm diameter.

In alignment with the mystical lore associated with the stones, I created this piece with prayer and intent that the Divine bless this piece with the prayer and intent that the wearer be favored with the highest and best blessings of high energy and power in both yin and yang aspects.

Metaphysical, Mystical, & Spiritual Healing Properties Lore:

Quartz is a power stone that harmonizes and balances. It enhances energy and thoughts, and purifies the spiritual, mental, and physical. It is also a powerfully protective stone, bringing the purified energy in. Historically this crystal has been used to counter black magic, to perform diagnostic healing, and to communicate with spirits and other worlds. Clear quartz, as opposed to colored quartz, is associated with the crown chakra, but also works well on all chakras. See extended quartz info.

Yin/Yang crystals have a cloudy half or section that is feminine, Yin, receptive, and a clear half or section that is masculine, projecting, and Yang. These crystals are excellent for balancing Yin/Yang energies, either within an individual, or a relationship, or a community. They can teach us to be both giving and receiving, active and meditative, and to balance these qualities.

Isis crystals help cope with grief or loss. They also engender wisdom and fidelity. Isis crystals have powerful feminine energy and are useful when working with Goddess energy. They are beneficial for men and women. They can also help promote creativity, and are excellent for balancing any kind of dualties.

Silver is a mineral that is said to mirror the soul, strengthen the connection between astral and physical bodies, and enhance intuitive and psychic energies. Silver is mystically considered to improve speech, bring eloquence. It is also purported to attract, enhance and store the energies of gemstones, as well as draw out negative energies. Silver is related to the moon, and moon energies. Physically, crystal healing lore indicates that silver is has been traditionally used to aid heptatitis treatments, eliminate toxins, expel toxins through the pores, headache, rheumatic pain, nausea and gastritis, obesity, diabetes, and increase assimilation of vitamins A and E.
