TO USE YOUR GEMSTONE AS A PENDULUM: A pendulum is simple tool used for communicating and gaining guidance from the spiritual world. The pendulum amplifies signals or energy vibrations emanating from a spiritual guide or the divine energies you've called upon. These vibrations focus their attention on the pendulum and cause it to move in specific directions, giving you answers and guidance to the questions you put to the tool.

To use as a divination tool, hold the pendulum with your strong hand, very steady so it doesn't move. Ask your question:

Yes - an up and down direction.
No - a side to side direction.
Maybe - a diagonal direction, from the lower left to upper right corners of the circle.
Don't Want To Answer - a diagonal direction , from the lower right to the upper left corners of the circle.
Probably Yes - a clockwise circle.
Probably Not - a counter-clockwise circle.
