"El azabache" is an amulet believed to protect the new born against the evil eye and negative energy. The azabache is usually a little fist made out of pure black jet in necklace or bracelet form, usually in gold, with black and red beads. True, real jet is basically fossilized wood from millions of years ago and has many protective and healing qualities helping treat depression, fear and absorbs negativity of all kinds. Many adults continue with this belief and wear "el azabache" throughout their adulthood.

~ The evil eye is a look that is believed by many cultures to be able to cause injury or bad luck for the person at whom it is directed for reasons of envy or dislike.
