Obsidian Hand Carved Sperm Whale Necklace

These sleeping giants are hand carved from powerful natural obsidian. Each necklace is strung on a cruelty free waxed cotton cord; choose black, beige, or brown, with your choice of fixed length finished with sterling silver fastenings, or adjustable length with slip knots.

Sperm whales, known for their incredible size and intelligence, spend remarkably little of their time sleeping. When they do rest, it can be an extraordinary sight, with groups of these enormous cetaceans observed floating vertically just beneath the surface of the water. Their unusual sleeping behaviour is just one of the many fascinating characteristics of these mysterious creatures and a beautiful reminder of the wonders of the natural world.

✧ OBSIDIAN MEANING ✧

Obsidian is volcanic glass, formed when lava cools too quickly to crystallise. Its deep, glossy black has made it a stone of protection for thousands of years, shaped into tools, mirrors and amulets by ancient cultures around the world.

It is a wonderfully grounding stone, associated with shielding against negativity, steadying the mind and bringing hidden thoughts and patterns to the surface. That makes it a lovely companion when you want to look inwards or make a fresh start, helping you feel anchored, calm and strong in yourself.

Obsidian is natural glass rather than a true mineral, as it has no crystal structure, and its sharp edges were shaped into blades and arrowheads from the Stone Age onwards. It is also linked with strength and seeing yourself clearly.

• Chakra and Zodiac: Root chakra; associated with Scorpio.
• Shop all obsidian jewellery.

Each piece is cleansed with intention before packaging, to promote its specific energy and healing properties.
