## Description

Medium Charging Plate 10cm - Hamsa is made from selenite, about 10cm, a fine, silky-white crystal with a natural fibrous glow.

The hamsa, an open hand often with an eye in the palm, is a protective symbol across the Middle East and North Africa in Jewish, Muslim and Christian folk tradition.

At around 10cm this is the mid-sized option: big enough to notice on a shelf, small enough for a desk or windowsill. Mid sizes are the most versatile: they hold a bracelet or a handful of tumbles, or sit happily on a bedside table.

The Medium Charging Plate 10cm range comes in 3 versions. If Hamsa isn't quite right, compare Lotus Mandala or Chakra Design (col).

Selenite is a crystalline form of gypsum, soft enough to scratch with a fingernail, typically pearly white with a silky sheen. It measures 2 on the Mohs hardness scale. Natural gypsum.

The Cave of the Crystals in Naica, Mexico, holds selenite beams over 10 metres long.

Size: approximately 10cm. Natural material varies slightly in size, colour and markings.
