Marcia's Hibiscus bracelet matches a 3 strand necklace of the same name, available from www.ventanafineart.com and pictured here! They both feature Carnelian puffed oval beads, Citrine nuggets and Moonstone facets. I used Delica Glass spacer beads and a Sterling Silver toggle clasp as well.

Carnelian is a wonderful gemstone. According to charmsoflight.com, "Carnelian boosts fertility and stimulates sexuality. Carnelian treats lower back problems, rheumatism, arthritis, neuralgia and depression. It regulates the kidneys, and accelerates healing in bones and ligaments. Improves vitamin and mineral absorption and ensures good blood supply to organs and tissues." Also, energymuse.com says, "The fiery energy of a Carnelian crystal might be just what your soul needs. An Introduction to Carnelian Crystal Healing Properties Known as an artist's stone, the Carnelian crystal is a warm, vibrant stone that boosts confidence and the power of true expression. But the Carnelian crystal properties go far beyond artistic expression."

They also said, "Also known as the "Light Maker," the Citrine crystal has a bright yellow hue, which reflects its equally vibrant energy. Like Vitamin C for the soul, the Citrine crystal properties emanate positivity and joy." theloveandlightschool.com comments,"The healing properties of citrine are powerful and abundant. Citrine will allow you to fully embrace your courage, confidence, success, and self-worth."

And regarding Moonstone, energymuse.com states, "The Moonstone crystal healing properties will act as a guiding force, helping you to stay on track and navigate your path with clarity and confidence. Whether you are changing careers, discovering new passions, or thinking about making a change in your life, connect with the Moonstone crystal stone meaning for support and guidance on your journey." Finally, charmsoflight.com remarks, "Moonstone aids the digestive system, assimilates nutrients, eliminates toxins and fluid retention, and alleviates degenerative conditions of skin, hair, eyes, and fleshy organs such as the liver and pancreas. It stimulates the pineal gland and balances hormonal cycles, being excellent for PMS, conception, pregnancy, childbirth, and breast-feeding."

This little bracelet meant to celebrate my favorite colors and one of my favorite flowers is also a powerful healing aid!!!
