This Preseli Bluestone Roimata pendant is carved from authentic Preseli Bluestone sourced from the Preseli Hills in Pembrokeshire, Wales — the same stone used to build parts of Stonehenge. The piece is shaped into a roimata (tear drop), evoking the flowing energy of water, emotion, and renewal. Its natural texture has been lightly polished to bring out the subtle tones and character of the stone while maintaining its raw, earthy beauty.
