These talismans were hand-carved from jeweler’s wax and cast in sterling silver, inspirited under a blue flame and quenched in water collected from the spring of Kanathos in Greece on the 9th of May at 11:24pm PT. The talisman measures 2" x 1". I have two finishes to choose from: bright silver, and antiqued silver.
The talismans are set with natural faceted emeralds in the eyes and natural emerald beads in the tails, as emerald is the traditional gem of Spica. At the heart of each talisman is a pearl, to represent Spica’s position as the star of Chitra Nakshatra, whose corresponding gem is the pearl.
