Crinoid Fossil (Indian Bead) - Crinoids are marine animals belonging to the phylum Echinodermata and the class Crinoidea. They are an ancient fossil group that first appeared in the seas of the mid Cambrian, about 300 million years before dinosaurs. They flourished in the Palaeozoic and Mesozoic eras and some survive to the present day.  A spiritual stone, deeply connected to the earth, home and the events of one's past. A survival stone, one of strength and protection.
 
Smoky quartz is a grounding and protective crystal symbolizing strength, stability, and transformation, known for absorbing negative energy and transmuting it into positive vibrations, often linked to the Root Chakra. It helps anchor scattered energy, relieve stress, clear negativity, improve focus, and foster emotional resilience, acting as a shield against psychic attacks and environmental pollutants.
 
Obsidian is a powerful, naturally occurring volcanic glass known as a "stone of truth" and a "psychic vacuum cleaner". It is primarily used for deep, rapid, and intense grounding, protection against negative energy, and uncovering subconscious patterns or hidden emotions. It connects strongly to the root chakra to provide stability and emotional clarity.
