**********************************************
Each stone and crystal, has metaphysical properties that can help aid in specific situations, help boost certain body functions/body parts, and can even offer different insight into the seen and unseen world around us. Below is a list of all the different gemstones used in this necklace and their healing properties.
Amethyst: is a meditative and calming stone that works in the emotional, spiritual, and physical planes to promote calm, balance, and peace. It is also used to eliminate impatience and is great for dealing with legal problems and money issues, which can lead to prosperity and abundance. This is also a very protective stone and can help aid in sobriety.
Elephant: Represents great wisdom, strength, vitality, and the ability to overcome. Just because one has great strength, does not mean one should always use it or use it in aggressive ways. Elephant helps remind us of this and helps keep us on a more peaceful path. Elephant also aids in helping one get over deep seeded trauma or deep spiritual, mental, physical or emotional wounds.
***** PLEASE NOTE *****
This is a Vegan Friendly Lifestyle necklace. That means absolutely no animal parts or animal byproducts are on this necklace, or were used to make this necklace. The cotton cording is called "waxed" cotton cord, but the cord I use does not use any actual wax from animals or even synthetic wax. The cotton is simply highly polished giving it the "waxed" like features, keeping it fairly durable and fray free. The dye on the cotton cord is dyed using extracts from plants.
Most Necklaces I make are very long and actually to big for most people. The ends of the cotton cord used for the necklaces are knotted and can easily be cut and retied so you can easily make the length of the necklace shorter to best suit your look and body type. The reason I did this, is so the necklaces can fit anyone. It is best to have the necklace be to long, yet easily resizable, then to be to small and unable to be resized at all.
