Key points
- Try the raw amethyst pendulum for a rough-cut finish, wrapped in a silver-tone spiral on a fine chain, for dowsing or display.
- Choose a divination kit for a gift: the Flower of Life kit has Yes, No, Maybe and Unsure answers on its ceramic base.
- For a handmade pick, try the lapis sphere pendulum, about 2 x 1 cm, on a silver plated chain of about 170 mm.
- Over £60 we pay the first £6 of delivery on most orders, so one ordinary parcel travels free.

Same-day dispatchWhich amethyst pendulums are good for a first dowsing tool?
Any of these three amethyst pendulums makes a good first dowsing tool. Each is a real amethyst piece on a chain, and each has its own shape, size and natural markings, so no two are quite alike.
Raw Amethyst Crystal Pendulum (£7.99)
For anyone who collects crystals, this raw amethyst pendulum makes a lovely first pick. The stone keeps its rough-cut finish and sits in a silver-tone spiral on a fine chain. It measures 23 x 2 cm, and it's for dowsing or display. Tarot readers and pendulum beginners will like it.

A playful pick for a beginner who loves the witchy side of things. This amethyst pendulum has a pointed shape, made for dowsing and divination.

Best for: Tarot readers with a playful side.
Divination Pendulum, Amethyst Sphere (£6.99)
Great for a first dowsing session together. This is a handmade amethyst sphere pendulum, with a silver plated chain about 170 mm long and a gemstone bead at the end.

Which angel, sphere and other shaped pendulums suit dowsing?
The green aventurine angel, lapis sphere and Shiva Lingam band pendulum are all traditionally used for dowsing, which means seeking simple answers with a pendulum. The orgonite angel wing is used in divination instead. What ties them together is shape, and each one lists its size.
Band Pendulum with Shiva Lingam, Natural Stone (£8.99)
Ideal for anyone who loves gemstones, this Shiva Lingam with band pendulum is made from natural stone. Every piece is unique, so the one you give will be one of a kind.

Lapis Sphere Pendulum on Silver Plated Chain (£7.99)
A little luxury for a beginner, this lapis sphere hangs on a silver plated chain of about 170 mm, with a gemstone bead at the top.

It is traditionally used for dowsing and divination, which makes it a lovely choice for a tarot reader curious about pendulums.
Best for: Tarot readers curious about pendulums.
Orgonite Chakra Pendulum, Angel Wing (£7.99)
Something a little different for pendulum beginners, this orgonite power chakra pendulum has an angel wing design and measures 3.5 x 1.5 cm. It comes as one piece in the box.

Something they'll show off, this green aventurine angel pendulum has a carved angel, a pointed crystal end and silver-tone detailing in a ring-style frame.
