Metaphysical Properties: A cleansing stone, it can be used to cleanse personal energies as well as other stones. This stone is one of the few that never needs cleansing itself.

It can also be used to balance yin/yang energies and is said to be one of the stones of the breastplate of the High Priest of the Israelites.
Pendulums are often used to aid with "yes/no" and other binary decisions that can often become more accurate the more one practices with a specific pendulum. Hold the chain so that the pendulum hangs freely, but try not to move your hand. Ask the pendulum to show you which direction it will swing for the yes and no answers. With patience and practice, these pendulums may become helpful when faced with a choice, finding lost objects, and other situations where you'd like to get in touch with your intuition.
