DESCRIPTION

Crystal healing talisman with a natural, 'wounded healer' Quartz point with some visible iron oxide coating and small kintsugi repairs. This crystal also displays a small 'Dolphin formation' (meaning there's a smaller crystal point growing alongside the main point, like a baby dolphin swimming alongside its mother). The necklace is braided with botanically eco-dyed recycled sari silk and golden brown micro-macrame cord. The highlighting crystals on knotted strands on both sides of the main crystal are Citrine, Gold Rutile Quartz and Copper Rutile Quartz. The necklace braid includes further decorative details of double braiding and silk strands.

The necklace braid is set length, allowing the Quartz point to hang down 39 cm (15") measured from the back of the neck to the top edge of the Quartz - i.e. the all-around length of the necklace braid is 78 cm (30.5").

'Crystal kintsugi' ~ sometimes a damaged crystal still has so much life and energy within that I just cannot discard it. Like us people, no need for past knocks and bruises to define our capabilities. Often these wounded healers have deep wisdom to share. This crystal spirit is now paired with genuine 24 carat gold to celebrate its beauty and to remind you of yours. 

KINTSUGI (‘golden joinery’) also known as Kintsukuroi (‘golden repair’) is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold. As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise. Kintsugi can be seen to have similarities to the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, an embracing of the flawed or imperfect.
