A beautiful Smoky Quartz faceted pendulum.
A pendulum is an instrument used for dowsing. People who use a pendulum believe that the answer to every question an individual may ever ask is already in their subconscious mind. They believe that a pendulum can be used to form a link with this information on a very subtle level. The information a pendulum gives us (usually in the form of 'yes' or 'no' answers) through the manner of its rotation, can then help in pursuits such as finding missing objects, locating ley lines (energy lines in the earth), locating weaknesses or strengths within the human aura and helping us to make decisions.
The energy of smoky quartz is protective and empowering. It reminds us of the need to cut through superfluous information to get straight to the point, and remain focused and 'in the moment' all the time. It's a handy tool to use during meditations or ceremonies, when you want to be aware of subtle energies, but also remain grounded. Plus, it can be useful to have around in the work place, when you're dealing with difficult situations or people.
