The twisted monochromatic shaft represents the light and the dark, and the twisting changing nature of magick. The twisting technique used is a complex "Vine twist", each couple of inches has to be heated, twisted and then cooled before twisting the next few inches in the other direction. The process takes days and is reflected in the price.
A crystal has been set in the stang as the “eye” and the power of the crystal sphere’s metaphysical properties lends its own power also to this ritual weapon. In this case a gorgeous "A" quality fluorite tri color sphere has been used.

Iron is sacred to Mars.
The Tubal Cain mythos also has iron as a tool of our will and apostasy, Yahweh after the expulsion from Eden told Adam and Eve they would have to scrabble among the thorns for their food... But Tubal Cain, 7th son of Cain had other ideas and discovered the working of iron and became the first blacksmith. To the Tubal Cain currents of witchcraft iron is therefore a tool of our will.
In Traditional English cottage witchcraft the Fae Folk are scared of iron and therefore iron tools can be used to protect against or control the Fae.
