This Trollbead, the first chakra, represents the earth element, which is tied to our survival instinct, our sense of grounding and our connection to the body and the physical plane. This chakra brings us health, prosperity, security and dynamic presence. This bead contains 22-carat gold. Please note: Glass is a fantastic material. Each glass bead is handmade from red-hot glass in the open flame and no two glass beads are ever completely alike. This goes for size, coloration and pattern. Your bead is absolutely unique and may have slight variations from the bead pictured.
