Experience the convergence of ancient symbolism and modern artistry with this limited-edition pendant. The piece captures the essence of old-world Brutalist style alongside elements of sacred geometry. The 5mm round bail at the top flows into a wireframe sphere, constructed from four cris-crossing 2mm silver bands. This sphere, though primarily empty, is a powerful symbol representing wholeness, unity, and infinite possibilities. It reflects the cosmic energies captured in the precious stones that dangle beneath it.

Dangling under the geometric sphere is an A-grade Gem Brown terminated tourmaline sourced from the Himalayas, encapsulated in an oxidized sterling silver cap. The cap is further embellished with a vivid Ethiopian oval fiery rainbow opal, creating an entrancing visual and metaphysical interplay. Brown Tourmaline, or Dravite, is a grounding stone, known to help in self-acceptance and healing, while the Ethiopian Opal brings emotional balance and stimulates creativity. Together, they offer an intriguing combination of groundedness and imagination, embodying the unity and completeness symbolized by the wire sphere.

Spiritual and Emotional Significance:
Himalayan Brown Tourmaline, also known as Dravite, is considered to be a powerful grounding stone. It is especially valuable for people who find themselves easily distracted or disconnected from the Earth. This stone resonates with the Root Chakra, encouraging a sense of belonging and stability. Brown Tourmaline is believed to dispel negativity, transform dense energies, and provide a protective shield around the user. Its grounding properties also help to bring balance and calm, making it a suitable stone for stress relief and emotional healing.

Geological Properties:
Brown Tourmaline or Dravite is a complex boron silicate mineral, often occurring in metamorphic rocks like schist and marble. It can also be found in igneous rocks like granite. The Himalayan variants of Brown Tourmaline are highly prized for their depth of color and clarity. The term 'Dravite' comes from the Drava river district in Austria and Slovenia; however, Himalayan Brown Tourmaline sources are typically from the Himalayan mountain ranges in Nepal and Bhutan. The brown color is due to the presence of iron and other metallic elements, which gives the mineral its unique hue.

Element: Water, Fire
Vibration Numbers: 6, 8
Origin: Ethiopia

Spiritual and Emotional Significance:
Ethiopian Oval Fiery Rainbow Opal is known for its ability to enhance emotional expressiveness and creativity. Often referred to as a 'stone of inspiration,' this form of opal amplifies traits and brings characteristics to the surface for transformation. Its shifting, fiery colors are said to encourage one to release inhibitions and enhance the memory. On an emotional level, the vibrant hues help to express one's true self and instill confidence. Due to its association with multiple chakras, it is believed to be a transformative tool that can provide clarity and amplify one's psychic or mystical qualities.

Geological Properties:
Ethiopian Oval Fiery Rainbow Opals are sourced mainly from Ethiopia's Wollo Province. They are typically found in volcanic rocks like rhyolite and are formed from the silica-rich waters of hot springs. Unlike the Australian opals, which are sedimentary in origin, Ethiopian opals are considered hydrophane because they contain a certain percentage of water within their structure. When the stones are exposed to light, they exhibit a vibrant play-of-color, commonly called "fire," that can include a wide range of hues from the entire spectrum. This 'fire' is due to the microscopic spheres of silica, which diffract light into various colors.
