Types of Pendulum
Gemstones / Crystal Pendulum
Gemstone pendulums are made from actual gemstones, semi-precious gems or we can say as crystal stones and not only do they contain the energies of the stones that they are made from, but they also are best suited for pendulum divination because these energies inside the stones will cause the pendulum to swing stronger giving you a more clear answer to your questions.
Gemstones are also very pure forms of energy as long as they are properly cleansed. Crystal Pendulum you will get in many different shapes and size and colour as per the chakra and gemstones.Gemstone pendulums are made from actual gemstones, semi-precious gems or we can say as crystal stones and not only do they contain the energies of the stones that they are made from, but they also are best suited for pendulum divination because these energies inside the stones will cause the pendulum to swing stronger giving you a more clear answer to your questions.

Metal Pendulum / Brass Pendulum
Metal pendulums are often made from brass, chrome, pewter, Alloy or steel. These pendulums are the next best pendulums to use after gemstones as the magnetic energies that many of these metals provide can give a strong swing to your pendulum bringing more clarification to your answers. Metal pendulum also comes in different varieties shape and size.
Wooden Pendulum
Wood pendulums are made from various woods and are normally hand carved. Wood is not the best medium to use for pendulums since they do not hold energy rather well and can often be weak when they swing back and forth.
Difference between the crystal pendulum and metal pendulum
Crystal pendulums may be beautiful to look at, but there can be some inherent problems with using dowsing pendulums stones. Crystals absorb energy, especially negative energy, and therefore need to be cleared and cleansed frequently so that this energy does not interfere with your dowsing results. Also, crystals can chip and break easily if you use your pendulum often, so a crystal pendulum is not ideal to carry with you in your purse or pocket.
The ideal pendulum is one that you can have with you at all times, ready to answer all your questions, anytime, anywhere. A brass / metal pendulum is an excellent choice, not only for its durability, but also because brass is an excellent medium for a highly responsive pendulum. Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, and copper is a great conductor of electromagnetic energy. Everything in this world is electromagnetic, so a brass/ metal pendulum is very sensitive to conducting subtle energies, and therefore makes a great antenna for accessing information of all kinds from "the airwaves" (copper is primarily used in speaker wire, and both copper and brass are used in electrical wiring because of their conductivity).
