Many of the stones in Tikanchay handcrafted necklaces and other pieces are known to have powerful metaphysical properties. Sodalite improves clarity and communication, while opal promotes meditation and relaxation. The huayruro seeds, of course, bring good fortune and protection from negative energies, and the volcanic glass obsidian is said to be a catalyst for purification and metamorphosis. These beliefs have remained a part of the culture in Peru for centuries, and with a renewed trend toward natural healing and health, their powers are being recognized on a greater scale. Natural materials bring balance to the mind, body, and soul, making stone and seed jewelry the perfect gift for Holiday 2009. Consider giving a truly thoughtful gift this year with a handcrafted jewelry design from Tikanchay, like this Peruvian Turquoise Necklace.
