Irish Bog Oak Rectangular Pendant with Snowflake Obsidian | Crystal Necklace Gift - Handmade

A rectangular Irish bog oak pendant, with a piece of Snowflake Obsidian crystal in the centre. The pendant comes with a 5mm faux leather cord that comes with a steel magnetic clasp.

Snowflake Obsidian is a balancing gemstone that purifies the mind, body and spirit. It helps to reduce negative thinking, improve psychic abilities and to feel more grounded.

Please handle with care and avoid wearing in the shower or while swimming to maintain the quality of the handmade piece of jewellery. It is advised to keep the necklace away from any water or dampness if possible. ♡

When opening the magnetic clasp, take care to pull it apart by holding onto the steel clasps rather than the rope string, to avoid pulling the necklace apart.

-----------------------

Bog-wood is a material from trees that have been buried in peat bogs and preserved from decay by the acidic and anaerobic bog conditions, sometimes for hundreds or even thousands of years. The wood is usually stained brown by tannins dissolved in the acidic water. Irish bog-oak usually ranges in age from 3000 to 8000 years old. The Irish climate was warmer and drier at that time in our history and when the climate changed to a wetter and damper era the roots lost their grip in the soggy soil and fell to the ground. The centuries-long process of the oak residing in the earth results in colour alteration from golden-brown to completely black. No two pieces of wood will ever be exactly the same colour.

Like no two pieces of bog oak being the same, each piece of jewellery is handcrafted to be completely bespoke, giving it a rustic finish. Designed with care, each piece is lightly brushed with linseed oil to enhance the oak’s rich colour.
