Réalta

This antique bloodstone and carnelian silver spin fob pendant is paired with a vintage silver chain, which is part gold plated.  

Victorians were fascinated bloodstone and carnelian fobs, not only for their aesthetic beauty but also for their symbolic meaning. As they were found predominantlyin the UK (rugged terrains of Scotland), they garnered heightened admiration during the reign of Queen Victoria, who championed their popularity. Hence finding a lot of antique fob spinners from this era.

In a world marked by constant metamorphosis, pieces like this spinner fob emerge as testaments to the endurance of artifacts. Fiery carnelian on one side - a vivid embodiment of passion - and a moody, speckled bloodstone on the other, reflecting introspection. The interplay of these two stones suggests a delicate balance, where fervor harmonizes with contemplation, and action is tempered by rest. 

Bloodstone, revered as a guardian stone, is known for its grounding and protective properties, renowned for instilling courage and vitality. Often lauded as a 'blood cleanser' it purportedly stimulates circulation and detoxifies the body, encouraging a flow of life force that nurtures selflessness. 

Meanwhile, carnelian stands as a symbol of vibrant energy, igniting creativity and bolstering confidence, urging its possessor to embrace the fullness of existence, nourisheing grounding energy and this helps one rebalance the Root Chakra.

I’ll end this with a note on silver’s energy. Silver is very fond of its owner, like a loyal cat  -  It does not like to be passed from one person to another too often. So wear it proud and wear it long.

I've kept this piece simple, but I would highly recommend adding to this piece with your own talismanic choices!
