Figa amulet necklace made of lapis lazuli

A powerful figa hand amulet

Fantastic amulet worn across history, you can too wear the figa. This necklace is adorned with a figa pendant, detailed and carved in a gorgeous lapis lazuli gemstone.

THE SYMBOL OF THE FIGA:
First appearing in Etruscan Italy (pre-roman civilization), the figa was largely used in the Roman era, before being represented in many more countries. This hand, with the thumb placed between the index and middle finger, symbolizes fertility, and an invocation of the Goddess. The figa can also be worn as an amulet, to bring good luck. It also represents protection against the evil eye, because of the obscene meaning the figa has in some cultures, repelling the evil for the person wearing this symbol.

LAPIS LAZULI PROPERTIES:
Lapis lazuli is a powerful stone to clarify our judgment. It helps us to be wise. This gemstone was used in Ancient Egypt in many ways, from makeup to funeral rites. It was considered a symbol of the night sky. It's a combination of Azurite, Calcite, Sodalite, and pyrite. As it contains Azurite, no surprise that this stone is great to awake our intuition. It also acts as a shield against low energy. You can use lapis lazuli to help you on your spiritual path and to develop your psychic abilities. You can also use it to communicate better and to feel more confident doing it. Lapis lazuli is linked to the zodiac signs of Aquarius and Taurus, to the throat and third eye chakra, and to the element of water.

DIMENSIONS:
The length of the necklace is 61 to 68 cm (24.01 to 26.77 in), adjustable with the extender chain. The figa pendant is 4.7 cm long (1.85 in), and 1 cm wide (0.39 in). The bail is 8mm long.

Care instructions:
To keep your jewelry shiny and beautiful, be gentle with it by avoiding direct contact with water, chemical, salt, and chlorite.
Remove your jewelry before applying lotions, hair spray or perfume, and before going for a swim.
When you are not using it, a dedicated box or pouch will be the best place to store your piece. If needed, you can clean your jewelry with microfiber or a jewelry cloth.
You can cleanse your gemstone energetically with fumigation (incense, palo santo, etc.) for one minute, indirect salt (put salt on a bowl and place your creation on top of it on a small saucer) for a few hours, sound (by using a prayer bowl in close proximity), or your own energy, using reiki for example. Quartz geodes and selenite bowls also work wonders to cleanse your gemstones
