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.
Smoky Quartz: is a very grounding earth based stone that helps protects and shield one from many dangers both metaphysical and physical. It helps ward off stress and keep one in a calmer and more focused mind set in stressful situations. This stone helps aid in critical thinking, problem solving, and coming up with unique solutions to difficult problems. It is also thought to ward off depression and negative thoughts.
Apatite: Is a stone that can stimulate thoughts and ideas. It is used, often in conjunction with meditation, to increase intellect, imagination, and intuitive / psychic awareness. It is said to help you maintain focus, learn, concentrate, think clearly, and communicate better. It also helps repress physical hunger while opening up one to the hunger of knowledge. This stone boosts learning skills and is thought to help people learn things much faster, as well as apply them accordingly.
***** 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.
