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.
Turquoise: Known as the talisman of kings, shamans, and warriors. It is a stone of protection, strong and opaque, yet soothing to the touch, and healing to the eye. It is a symbol of wisdom, nobility and the power of immortality or life after death. Turquoise was considered sacred, often being used as adornment in all manners of jewelry, clothing, and accessories for its power, luck, and protection.
Howlite: It is a stone of awareness. It can prepare the user or wearer to receive wisdom and attunement from the Higher Self and the Divine. It is also used for dimensional travel and healthy meditation. Howlite can also be used to release attachments, or cords, linking old emotional pain, from this life or a past life, to the present.
Rainbow Moonstone: It has a strong connection to the moon, helps calm responses and stress, and avoid overreaction. It brings hope, enhances feminine energies, sensitivity, intuition, and psychic abilities. It is also said to bring strong energies of abundance to one's life. Moonstone is a stone of protection, especially during childbirth, pregnancy, and travel at sea.
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 effectively, think clearly, and communicate better.
***** 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 purposefully longer to allow for anyone to wear. However, This necklace is shorter, but comes with a bigger lobster clasp to safely fasten it around the neck.
