A piece for your sacred offeringsand made in Peru. Thissolid and sturdy, hand carved black offering bowl is fashioned from a very dark and dense metallic stone called Hiwaya in Quechua, an Andean language. Its properties are similar to those of hematite which grounds and protects us and strengthens our connection with Pachamama, making us feel safe and secure. It endows us with courage, strength, endurance and vitality.
