{"product_id":"sardonyx-obelisk-with-druzy-quartz","title":"Sardonyx Obelisk with Druzy Quartz","description":"\u003cp\u003eA polished sardonyx obelisk with a row of sparkling druzy quartz pockets running up its spine. Deep glossy black agate frames pockets of sparkling white crystal, each one scalloped like a little moon, so the whole piece reads as high contrast and dramatic from across a room. It tapers to a clean point and stands on its own as a true statement piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSardonyx is a banded chalcedony, a close cousin of agate, and it carries one of the oldest reputations in the crystal world. The Romans wore it into battle as a stone of courage and protection, and it has long been kept as an emblem of strength, steadiness, and integrity. In its dark banded form it feels especially grounding, the kind of stone people keep near the door or on a desk when they want to feel anchored and a little shielded, a calm that holds its ground in the middle of noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe druzy quartz running through it adds the spark. Hundreds of tiny crystal points catch the light and, in the old traditions, quartz is the great amplifier, a stone that takes whatever intention you bring and gives it back brighter. Shaped into an obelisk, that tapered tower the ancients raised toward the sky, it becomes a natural focal point, a piece that seems to gather energy and aim it gently upward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStone: Sardonyx with Druzy Quartz\u003cbr\u003eShape: Polished Obelisk\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 6.5 inches tall by 2 inches wide\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 9.3 oz\u003cbr\u003eFeatures: Druzy quartz pockets, high contrast black and white banding, polished obelisk that stands on its own\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Makes This Piece Special\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe contrast is what makes this one sing. Glassy black agate against bright sparkling druzy, stacked in soft scalloped pockets up the length of the tower.
