Each stone has a different purpose in divination. Here’s a good article describing good stones to use and their purposes.

Bible belt to the max here. 😓

I really wish reoukes would stop screwing with the economy for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is so that I can gth out of here & return to civilization.

Ty!

Bey’s Rock Shop in PA.

They are owned and operated by a very nice elderly couple.

Good Luck!

I put mine in the sun and the moon, preferably full for a whole 24 hour cycle. If you’re able to get the pendulum string wet you can soak it in salt water.

Lapis, Amethyst, Selenite, Flourite, Laborodite are powerful intuition connectors.

Here’s a good site too

I think they have a website.

😓

eBay and Etsy have some cool ones.

Hadn't thought about ebay...

It would be much easier if I knew what I wanted, but I don't.

Ty again!

I love them, but I live in a red shithole, so...

Ty!

Nothing has had that effect. 😓

Ty!

I adopted a lovely moonstone one from a company through Amazon.

I don't do much biz with Amazon anymore because of their maga owner.

I couldn't be happier with the pendulum. It is a natural stone, which is what I'd wanted & works like a charm! Almost like someone charged it up for me.

Did you put it out under the scorpio full moon?

intentions for stones. I give my stones a full 24 hour sunlight/moonlight cycle in a window that gets both or put them outside. If you put them on the ground for a 24 hour cycle you will get the extra grounding from the earth which is excellent for connecting the earth and universal energies.

Sage smudging is also a good way to quick cleanse a pendulum.

I’ve seen cleansing plates/mats online to set the pendulum or rocks on when finished using.

Sadly, none of my windows get moonlight & if I set outside, some critter is likely to make off with it.

But I appreciate you sharing.

found this somewhere and it works for me:

Hold stone under cool or tepid running water and say "Christlike Christlike Christlike"

Congrats on your new friend!

I used to spray them with rosewater, those that can take a spritzing.

All kinds of them here. Rather like living in Jurrasic Park, sadly.

crystal that talked to me, wrapped wire (like jewelry wire) around it and arranged a little loop on top, tied a string around the loop -- make sure it can move easily in all directions -- and you have a pendulum.

But I've never worked with jewelry wire & wasn't sure how that would go. Lol

Thx for the idea, though.

They are a fine local rock and metaphysical supply store. They also have an online store, too.

I found a lovely moonstone one that is quite lively.

I'll sure keep them in mind, though.
