I added a silver alloy cap to an organic white bone tapered point and attached it to a hand carved natural white buffalo bone rose bead. This comes with a 24 inch silver filled chain. The pendant is approximately 3.5 inches long and the rose bead is 16mm in diameter. Can be worn as a pendant, used as a pendulum, or even as a mini wand.

Bone is an organic material and as such exhibits its own metaphysical properties. Bone symbolizes both creative and destructive forces, which can represent life and death. Like Yin and Yang, these opposites provide a balance between two contrasting influences. Bone is often used by healers and shamans for a variety of illnesses and injuries.

Many ancient cultures used carved bone dice or tiles for divination purposes. Casting the bones is a term used even today by practitioners. The bones of some animals are also used to represent the spirit of that animal. These are usually made into a talisman or pendant that can be worn for protection and connection to the spirit animal.

Besides the universal symbolism of love, the rose can also represent a clandestine meeting. The term "sub rosa" means "under the rose" and comes from the Roman practice of hanging a rose over a meeting place as a symbol of secrecy.
