Our popular Malachite jewelry, beads and healing stones, comes from Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Its appearance ranges from light to dark bands and rosettes. Malachite stones amplify both positive and negative energies and have been traditionally been worn for centuries as a stone of protection. It is the anniversary stone for the 13th year of marriage, birthstone for the month of July and associated with the zodiac signs of Pisces, Capricorn & Scorpio.
Today, San women use their skills as beadwork artists to provide income for their families. Their Ostrich eggshell beadwork is mixed with other local materials such as tamboti wood, seeds and porcupine quills producing unique, rare and exquisite jewelry. All eggshell used to make jewelry are hatched and collected from farms in Southern Africa so as not to affect the natural population of ostriches.
These lovely hand crafted necklaces are created by the Tuaregs, reknowned for their ancient tradition of metal work. The traditional nomads live across the Sahara. No doubt, their daring designs construct a cultural artwork of extraordinary beauty. Made in Mali and Niger Republic.
Knives are created from a single piece of wood to create a sheath and a handle with a piece of steel blade forged in fire. These knives are extremely sharp.
The San are famous for stalking prey and shooting them with arrows coated with a poison created
from the larvae of a local beetle. Stories of the hunt are told time and again. Most of the sets
we have brought back do not have the poison on the arrows though some do.
Each bow and arrow set contains five arrows, fire sticks, resins for repairing arrows and a straw used
for drinking from the crooks of trees, sometimes the only source of water in the desert.
