Since ancient times the yew has always been considered a sacred, spiritual and protective tree. This tree has an ultra-violet aura that is harmful to bacteria and parasitic life forms, the tree itself is never bothered by any form of parasites. Ultra-violet light is used for water purification and sewage treatment in modern waterworks. This wood combined with an amethyst laser point crystal produces a similar but more subtle form of this energy and is a very useful healing tool. The ancient Runic symbol of the yew tree is mounted on the back of the wand. The yew wood and crystal are mounted in pure silver. dimensions - 16cm
