Jet is not actually a stone. It is a fossilized organic substance very similar to coal and in fact Jet and coal are created from the same materials in the same way. Commonly used in prehistoric burials and is associated with powerful women, Queens and Priestesses. Represents the power of the Goddess and the mystery of the night in which the silver Moon is Queen. It absorbs and disperses negativity, clearing the way for higher thought. Cleanse regularly with the smoke from a burning sage smudge stick.
