Mano De Azabache

The "mano de azabache," or "jet hand," is a traditional protective amulet made from jet, a type of lignite. Shaped like a small hand, often in a fist, it is commonly used in Latin American and Spanish cultures to ward off the evil eye and negative energies. This amulet is frequently given to infants and young children, symbolizing protection and strength. It is deeply rooted in cultural traditions and is believed to provide a shield against harm and envy.
