A faceted lead-crystal drop beneath the fine pattern of the Flower of Life, finished with a chakra chain strung from colourful beads. Hung in a sunny window, the crystal scatters rainbows while the seven-coloured chain adds a cheerful note of colour to the play of light.
The Flower of Life symbol
The Flower of Life is a pattern of evenly arranged, overlapping circles — one of the best-known motifs of sacred geometry. It appears in many ancient cultures, and tradition regards it as a symbol of the unity and connectedness of all life — an image of harmony and wholeness.
The chakra colours
In Eastern tradition the chakras are the body's subtle energy points; seven colours, from red to violet, are linked to the seven main chakras. The chain strings these colours in sequence, so the piece evokes the full spectrum of the rainbow — purely as a symbol, within a traditional frame.
Material and hanging
Faceted lead crystal with a metal Flower of Life frame and colourful chakra beads; about 29 cm long overall, with a hooklet. Best hung in a sunny window.
Good to know
It gives its loveliest light in direct sunshine; keep the crystal sparkling with a dry cloth.
