About the Item
19th century brass and gold watch-key with each side a different stone in the shape of a shield.
Carnelian and Heliotrope brass gold-plated Watch-key in the shape of a shield.
Heliotrope is a protective, grounding and purifying stone. Helps you when you are extremely tired and exhausted. It is a calming stone. Heliotrope is a mineral and a variety of quartz, more a variant of chalcedony. Heliotrope is a two-tone stone. The basic color is dark green, with red dots on top
The measurements 4,5 cm high (incl. ring), 1,5 cm wide and the depth is 0,8 cm.
(1 inch = 2.54 cm).
The weight is 8 grams.
In the 18th and the first half of the 19th century the color rather than the stone was of symbolic significance. Where there is a clear divergence between the gem books of the ancients and those of the medieval writers in terms of interpretation, the medieval writers stand firmly in the classical eastern tradition of color symbolism. This imagery was linked to belief in gems, astrolysis and the language of flowers, and its use in both sacred and secular contexts led to rigid interpretations that are still current today. All the colors of precious stones and also all the colors of glass paste and enamel have a continental meaning that already existed in the late medieval Lent game "Die siben Farb" ("The seven shades")
