Indian rune set in a pouch — Imperial jasper

Twenty-five stones engraved with the elder futhark, presented in their fabric pouch; the characters are carved and then picked out.

Deep greens mixed with cream and ochre, with a silky polish recalling antique porcelain.

Symbolic reading. Tradition makes it a stone of balance and of recentering.

Use & upkeep. Drawn blind, hand in the pouch, one to three depending on the question asked. Keep them in the pouch: the stones scratch each other if left loose.

• The name covers several green jaspers of different origins, long reserved for court objects in Asia.
• A natural piece: shade, veining and dimensions vary from one example to the next

A decorative object for personal practice. It is no substitute for medical advice or treatment.
