Bone Jewelry

Not a true stone (unless fossilized), Bone Jewelry is an Organic Gemstone made from the skeletal remains of animals, such as Water Buffalo. Most modern day Bone seems to come from China these days and is often carved, then stained with Tea.

Mystical Properties: Legends abound that the life essence remains in bones and that with the proper magical spell or elixir, life can be returned to the dead creature. Indeed, with what we now know of DNA, that might actually be true! Legend says that the Water of Life poured over bones will return the person to life. This mythical substance crosses many cultures, including Ishtar in ancient Sumeria, Isis bringing Osiris back to life in Egyptian myth, Baba Yaga in Russian lore and LaLoba of Mexican mythology.

Bones are thought to carry the essence of the person or animal possessed in life. Therefore, relics of the bones of Saints or revered ancestors have been cherished for millennia. It is quite common for Shamans to use the bones of creatures to induce prowess. For instance, the bone of a Tiger might instill strength and courage, while the bones of a Water Buffalo might induce calm and peace.

Astrologically, Bones and teeth are ruled by the planet Saturn, the primary ruler of Capricorn and secondary ruler of Aquarius.

Scientific Properties: Bone is composed of Calcium Carbonate and Apatite and are generally the last thing to decompose.

Found commonly thoughout the world. Hardness: 4.5-5 on the Moh's Hardness Scale.
