This
is a wonderful 1.9 oz, 1.75” diameter AAA Russian jet, formed and polished with
a slight matte finish into a sphere. Jet, also known as “black amber” although
not an amber at all) is a type of fossilized wood and more like coal than the
petrified wood that comes to mind. He is
warm to the touch and most soothing – similar to the feel of (and good
companion to … ) amber. I was lucky to
get a small quantity of this rare jet to share with you! This one has a few little textural marks and very
slight color variations, making her wonderful for scrying as well. The label “Made in Russia” was left on for
the pictures. It’s a really sticky label
and if you ask me, I will remove it and clean the area before shipping.
Jet
has been long used in jewelry, although it’s use in mourning jewelry has been
discontinued. The Russian jet, as lofty as its Tibetan cousin, is wonderful for
centering and focus, instilling a sense of well-being which is also an
important aspect of banishing fear on many levels. I particularly love the sphere shape as it
adds to that sense of comfort and it brings and the warmth of the jet in
particular … she is a perfect scrying sphere and wonderful in meditation where
you hold her cupped between the palms.
