This 'Medium's' hand jewel was inspired by a Victorian letter clip holder and features elegant fingers, a detailed cuff, and my favorite part, a small, smooth snake curled around the wrist. Snake symbology was often used in Victorian imagery, beginning when Prince Albert proposed to Queen Victoria with a snake ring. Here, it further symbolizes the 'unseen realm' that the medium taps into, the spirit world that they ferry messages to and from.
Part of my Lily Dale series, (the largest community of spiritualist mediums, which I visited in the summer of 2010) this piece marks my interest in Victorian Spiritualism, and how it has thrived in the shadows of modern society. Seances were made popular in the mid 1800's and consisted of a group of people who encircled a table, often holding hands, in the candle lit darkness to communicate with the 'other side' or the spirit world. These gatherings were popular during the Victorian era, and it's said even President Abraham Lincoln participated in them during his presidential term, in the White House.
This act of communicating with the Spirit World is also a metaphor for communicating with one's Self, the Unconscious, or the Shadow Self we only catch a glimpse of from time to time.

Lavender Quartz: is a rare form of quartz found in one location in Brazil. Much like Rose Quartz, it can be used as an emotional ally, helpful in heartache or times of crisis as a comfort to the emotional body. It is also known to have a calming effect to those who struggle with anxiety.
This jewel is hand cut and therefore may have small signs of the carver's hands along the edges. This has not been fabricated by a machine, it has been made by hand and therefore isn't uniformly perfect. The photographs accurately portray the quality of the stone.
