Welcome to the famous lucky Indalo, its charm stones, pebble jewellery and lucky charm necklaces

Gift good luck with the magical power of a hand-crafted Indalo charm

Here you will find our complete range of Indalo-inspired gifts, art and craft: Unique hand-painted charm stones from Almeria in Andalucia, southern Spain, as well as paintings, clothing and household goods.

Everything on this site bears the symbol of the lucky Indalo rainbow warrior. Do take a look, it could be an ideal present for the person who has everything.

We could all do with as much good luck as possible, and the little Indalo symbol is reputed to have magical powers to offer protection from harm, and bring good fortune and prosperity . . the perfect gift.

The Indalo shape (whether it be classical like Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man, or spiritual as in the Rainbow Man or Rainbow Warrior of the ancient North American Indians), is a popular symbol (like the clover leaf, horseshoe, or scarab) used to pass on good luck sentiments to friends and family. Rainbows are believed to represent a bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds. There are several 'Rainbow Men' symbols around the world, the most prominent being the Indalo of southern Spain, which is very much a good luck talisman. It dates back to Neolithic times (the symbols found on caves in the province of Almeria have been dated approx. 4500 BC), although it is unclear whether the origin of the word itself relates to "Indal Eccius" (meaning Messenger of God in ancient Iberian) or to a Saint, San Indalecio, sent by Rome to evangalise the Iberian peninsular in the first century AD, who was subsequently martyred in Almeria. Either way, hundreds of thousands of people put their faith in this little Warrior of the Rainbow, the Indalo, as a guardian angel, linking them to "the other world" and protecting them from evil and bringing them good fortune.

Original Indalo approx. 4,500 BC

Of course, the name Rainbow Warrior has now been immortalised by a ship owned by environmental group Greenpeace (the first one of this name was blown up by French Secret Services in New Zealand in the 80's) and relates back to North American Indian culture (particularly the Hopi, the Cree and the Sioux). But it is no coincidence that Greenpeace uses this name for its vessels: The Warrior of the Rainbow is a spiritual being that ancient North American legend foretells will return to save the earth from the ravages of environmental destruction in a 'New Age' type of salvation . . and the Rainbow Man is a symbol of that. (See more info about the Rainbow Warrior )

But the 'New Age' of today is not the New Age of the 1960's with its Hippy culture and mind-enhancing drugs. It is a thoughtful and spiritual lifestyle that is highly conscious of the world in which we live. People who embrace a New Age lifestyle believe in sustainable living, ethical /green, ecological initiatives, and an essence of spirituality that, although sometimes atheist in practice, is nonetheless meaningful and moral. According to a BBC survey, most of us still crave a sense of the spiritual in terms of love, values, beauty and meaning and, although many of us have let go of religion, per se, we still hold on to the vaguer notion of spirituality as a sense of transcendence and a way of feeling 'connected' to a dimension that is beyond the physical body. (See more info about some current ecological issues.)

The concept of Indalo charm stones , paintings, etc. (which all carry the symbol of the Indalo), encompasses both mysticism and a holistic approach to life - i.e. going beyond the liturgical and devotional forms of mainstream faiths to seek out inner or esoteric meanings and heightened spiritual awareness. Hinduism, for example, has many mystical sects, and the Sutras and Shankara of Buddhist texts display highly analytical treatments of mystical ideas. Plato, Pythagoras, and Socrates had clear mystical elements in their teachings. In the Christian faith, mysticism centres around the relationship between God and the Soul, with Saints and other beatific individuals being said to have received the "Holy Spirit".

Our lucky charm stones are all sourced in the region of the Indalo caves which overlook the plains of the Sierra de la Maria (close to the Sierra Nevada) . . from where, having traversed across Africa over centuries of migration, early Civilisation began its journey up into northern Europe in a megalithic era that resulted in the ancient monuments of northern Europe such as Stonehenge and Avebury. The good luck symbol of the Indalo rainbow man offers the extra emotional and mystical appeal of a hand-crafted good luck charm . . whether as a simple charmstone, lucky charm necklace (or other pebble jewellery), or as a painting or some of the other eco-friendly or holistic gifts on this site.

Each lucky charm stone on this site is a natural product. It is hand-crafted, hand-painted and unique . . as well as being environmentally friendly - the ideal ethical gift. Each stone/necklace is supplied in an eco-friendly presentation gift box and carefully laid onto a bed of natural wood-wool before being tied up with fronds of Madagascar raffia palm. Because each item of pebble jewellery or lucky charm stone is individually sourced and crafted, the colour, size, etc, can vary a bit from the photos shown here, but the result is a totally unique gift used as a recognised but very special way to express your goodwill wishes. The accompanying information card about good luck and the Indalo can be personalised with your own special message.

The Indalo . . a gift that says "Good Luck", "Congratulations", "Best Wishes", or "With Love" . . . passing on your good luck sentiments to a friend, loved-one, companion, work colleague or associate for any event or occasion.
