HISTORY

Azabache, otherwise known as black amber, comes from a family of jurassic trees that were extinct more than 65 million years ago. The black amber is found in the northern coast of Spain, in the region of Austrias, where there remains dinosaur imprints visible today. This old stone was a very popular jewellery item from the 16th century.

The stone is jet black and when polished shines bright.  It was once highly valued due to the belief around the stone’s abilities. The stone would rid one of negative energy; as well as protect those who wear it from fear, indecisiveness and evil. To those who believe, Azabache is a magic and protective stone.  Ages before, pilgrims would wear the stone to guard themselves from evil and some would carve their memories of the Camino de Santiago into the stone.
