【VALKNUT. Viking Stone Necklace】Red Aventurine, Viking Symbol | Clavicle Chain

✦ Design Philosophy ✦ The Viking Symbol VALKNUT Composed of three interlocking triangles, the VALKNUT is one of the most sacred symbols of ancient Norse culture. Breaking down the word "VALKNUT," "VALR" signifies fallen warriors, while "KNUT" means "knot." Thus, VALKNUT represents the heart of a warrior and symbolizes the courage of Viking warriors in battle. In Norse mythology, Odin is the Allfather and the god of death, and many ancient Norse symbols are associated with him. The intertwined triangular symbol "VALKNUT" is one such emblem. Vikings believed that true warriors would ascend to Odin's hall after death. The VALKNUT not only symbolizes the fearless Viking warrior but also embodies the power of Odin. The VALKNUT is a symbol belonging to Viking warriors. Many choose to have this motif tattooed, hoping to receive the power of the Allfather Odin to help them face life's challenges. Legend has it that Vikings deeply revered Odin; they were adventurous, unafraid of death, and bravely fought for what they desired, truly embodying a warrior spirit. The mystical power of the VALKNUT's triangular form also subtly hints at the signs of life. Some scholars believe the three vertices of the VALKNUT's triangles represent the "beginning of life," the "future of life," and the "end of life." However, with the passage of time and shifts in cultural contexts, the meaning of "three" has evolved, encompassing interpretations such as the three universal laws of "creation, preservation, and cyclical renewal," the realms of existence "heaven, earth, and hell," the Christian concept of "Father, Son, and Holy Spirit," the fundamental elements of life "air, water, and fire," the dimensions of time "past, present, and future," and aspects of personal cultivation "body, mind, and spirit." Some scholars have compared the triangular symbol of the VALKNUT with triangular symbols found on the 9th-century Snoldelev stone, suggesting a potential connection between these two symbols. ✦ Dimensions & Materials ✦ ● Chain length approximately 45CM + 5CM extension chain / Each side approximately 22cm + 5cm extension chain ● Pendant including clasp approximately 3.8cm ● Viking stone approximately 1.6x1.7cm (not a perfect cube) ● 14k gold plating ● Product SKU: AU353 ✦ Crystal Energy ✦ ● Red Aventurine Its primary mineral composition is quartz, containing approximately 10%-18% chromian mica, along with trace amounts of sillimanite, kyanite, rutile, hematite, and zircon. It exhibits a strong greasy luster and vitreous luster, ranging from translucent to slightly opaque. The refractive index is approximately 1.544-1.560, and its density is 2.65-2.8 g/cm³. It is relatively brittle. The texture is dense, fine, tough, and smooth. When polished, small, radiant specks (from rutile, hematite, chromian mica, etc.) shimmer against its oily green background, creating an exceptionally beautiful appearance. Due to the presence of chromian mica and hematite, Red Aventurine presents in shades of orange and reddish-yellow, with a point-like starlight effect on its polished surface, making it a rare gemstone. Red Aventurine is also known as Strawberry Aventurine. Unlike the intense energy of rubies or red jasper, Red Aventurine is more akin to winter sunlight, radiating a warm energy.
