Description
A pair of intention tools made with antler and quartz crystals. About seven and eight inches long. The crystal on the left is an orangy-surfaced type called "tangerine quartz", while the one on the right has a surface speckled with tiny black spots (I forget what that's called).Related content

These are so stunning, really beautiful. By the way, I was reading the comments, and if you have the time, would you mind explaining to me what you meant when you said that the user could 'charge' the wand/ crystal? I have my own selection of stones which I feel have different... properties... but I'm so ignorant of these types of things :')

Thank you.
Something gets 'charged' in this sense when someone uses it or thinks about using it, or when a ceremony involving it is done (I don't see any exact boundaries between these charging methods, myself, but some people do; and making something with intent can be a method of charging it); and being charged makes a thing easier to use (more powerful, accurate, or whatever), generally for that particular use or sort of use. There are various explanations (each with their own terminology) as to how and why this happens, depending on whether you are talking to a magician, shaman, priest, psychologist, or quantum neurodynamisist. I consider it an art and do it by feel, and have a very hard time explaining it in words.

Ahhhh I see, so it's sort of the intention of using an item that charges it, in a way? So when I choose to cleanse my stones (Someone once told me it's good for them) that could be described as a method of charging them? I can see it would be difficult to try and explain, thanks for taking the time

These would be a really lovely gift to a newly 'married'* couple.
Lovely pieces.
*( By 'married' I mean any lasting choice of bonding, be it handfasting, wedding, betrothal or whatnot....)

Yes, indeed. I hope someone buys them as a pair. If they don't sell before next month, They will be available here.

Out of curiosity... what sort of price would you be looking for for a single one?
(I'm very interested, but somehow I doubt that our customs service would let me buy one into the country!)
I hope they go as a pair too, seems a shame to seperate them.

very nice . even in the photo it appears to have great power .. by the way is it tourmalated quartz your trying to think of?

Thank you. I do try to keep the power neutral, except in things like positive/negative sets, so the user can do their own charging.
As best I can tell, tourmalated quartz has long, thin crystals of tourmaline running through the interior; this has tiny spots on the surface, which might be very small tourmaline crystals, or might be something else.

i guess saying it appears to have a strong potential for power would be a better description.
your right about tourmalated quartz i misunderstand your description it must be some other type of quartz.

Neutral is not the same as absent; power goes into anything made, when the maker is involved with the creation. This is made to be a container and conduit of the user's intent, and because it is made for a purpose, the maker energy is not entirely neutral, but is intended to aid that purpose. Some people see it, some don't, and it seems to be more a matter of tuning, rather than the strength of their own energy. I hope this makes sense.

It's an intention tool with a badly spelled title. So I just now corrected the spelling in the title. An _intention_ tool is a large class of things used to focus intention. When I made my first one of these, I wasn't sure whether to call it a wand with a crystal end, or a crystal with a handle, but those are both intention tools, so I went with that name.
