An obelisk is a polished stone in a tapering column ending in a pointed tip – a calm yet powerful shape that leads the eye upward. This piece is made of soft turquoise-green amazonite, about 7–10 cm tall, with a fine, veiled pattern.
About amazonite
Amazonite is the greenish-blue variety of feldspar, with a fine, veiled pattern that may also show faint white veining. Its soft shade calls to mind clear water and a summer sky. In tradition it is known as a stone of calm and balanced thinking, and many regard it as a companion to clear self-expression and intuition. These meanings belong to the stone's cultural story rather than to any medical effect.
The obelisk shape
The obelisk is an ancient, powerful shape, also called a 'column of light' and regarded as a symbol of renewal. Placed in a living room or study, the feng shui tradition holds it harmonises the space.
Use
The obelisk is an elegant, serene-coloured decorative object on a table, a shelf or a windowsill. Its turquoise-green shade pairs well with light spaces and plants, and gives a calm mood.
