EBONY WOOD - Dense enough to sink in water, this Asian hardwood symbolizes our immutable and pure self / core. Worn to remind us to resist temptation and to remain true to ourselves.
Root Chakra - The Root Chakra is the first chakra and is located at the base of the spine. This chakra is responsible for our sensation of groundedness, security, and connection with Mother Earth.

Sacral Chakra - The sacral Chakra is the second chakra and is found in the pelvic region and generates the energies needed for desire and passion of all sorts. Sunstone is worn by some who seek to boost or increase vitality, surging energy, and steadfastness.
Solar Plexus Chakra - The Solar Plexus Chakra is the third chakra and is located in the center of the body at the diaphragm.
