Guatemalan Jade Bead Pendant - 20mm
Hand carved Guatemalan Jade pendant by Yax Tun Minerals. Comes with handwoven leather cord.
In Guatemala, the Maya believed jade to have a spiritual significance, connecting the Maya people to their grand pantheon of gods, to the natural world, the supernatural world, and to the afterlife.
The old Aztec or Nahuatl word for jade was “chalchihuitl”, which, with its associations of divinity, has been translated to mean both “heart of the earth” and “beauty”.
This stone compliments very well to the use of obsidian.
