The Door Amulet

$350.00

From Sage & Salt, our go-to resource for crystals and related products, The Door Amulet serves as both an art object to adorn your door, and equally importantly as a force for neutralizing negative energy from entering your home. Hand-crafted by gemstone artist Luis Alberto, each is a unique piece with carved and inlaid quartz, lapis, obsidian and brass. Like all of the brand’s stones, those in the amulet are ethically sourced, ritually cleansed and charged by burying them in a vortex in the Arizona desert. It’s also a great gift for celebrating a friend’s new home.
