Rune Stones | Amythest | Crystal Rune Stones | Set of 25 | Divination

Rune stones served four main functions: memorials for the dead, self-promotion, divination and religious belief. Memorial rune stones were created for individuals who died at home and abroad. When prominent people, usually men, died, a stone was erected by family members as a memorial piece.

According to the sagas, runic inscriptions held magical powers. With the aid of inscriptions, you could predict the future, protect a person against misfortune, imbue objects with different qualities, or you could write down conjurations, curses, and spells.

Size: The size of the crystal runes is fairly consistent. They are mostly between 20-25mm at their widest points. The weight does vary between different crystals, but on average are about 9 grams per stone.

Information: Set consists of 25 crystal runes, a beautifully made black satin-lined velvet bag. The runic symbols are engraved into the crystal and there is one left blank. The engraving is then inlaid with gold paint.
