I have been coming to Tucson for over 24 years shopping for beads for my business. I used to go straight to my Gaspeite and Sugilite guy to stock up and spend too much money!!! This year after my visit to Tucson I did not find any of my favorite stones at all! The mines are depleted and if I do find it on line the price of the good stuff is astronomical. I do have some stock from years past and I have made this special spirt lock. The beads include Gaspeite which came from Australia, Sugilite from about 3000 feet under the earth in the Kalahari desert in South Africa, American natural turquoise, antique Tibetan coral, fossilized wooly mammoth tusk, ruby and Thai silver. The Spirit lock is an amulet from Northern Thailand and Laos which is meant to keep you healthy.
Spirit locks are metal padlock or hook shaped pendants worn around the neck or on the body as personal protective amulets. They function to ‘lock’ the soul of a person into his or her body in the case of illness, accident or spiritual malaise. Spirit locks are primarily worn by the Hmong and Akha hilltribe people of Thailand, Burma and Laos.
