Black Mountain is a town in NC that is near and dear to our family. It's a beautiful spot not too far from Asheville, NC right in the Smoky Mountains. Breathtaking scenery and lovely people, great shops and excellent accomodations abound. This bracelet is a salute to that sweet town.

Black Mountain, the bracelet, has Black Tourmaline, Copper and Labradorite with a few Delica Glass spacer beads. I used the copper spacers and toggle clasp for contrast against the black and gray! It's 7 1/2 inches long.

Whenever I was visiting Black Mountain, NC I felt like I was in a wonderful protected bubble! Interestingly, Black Tourmaline sort of creates that same energy. According to energymuse.com, "The Black Tourmaline crystal healing properties are most well-known for protection-related intentions. By shielding your energy in a bubble of protection, the Black Tourmaline crystal meaning can ward off unwanted energy and low vibrations that come from other people, places, or even situations." crystalvaults.com says, "Black Tourmaline stimulates the reflex points associated with the lower back, legs, ankles and feet, and may be used to realign the spinal column. It provides pain relief and assists with strained or torn muscles, numbness, arthritis, and scar tissue."

I promise that I didn't know this next information when I made this bracelet! "The healing properties of Copper are greatly increased when used in conjunction with other stones and crystals, such as Tourmaline and Hematite. Copper can be beneficial in promoting healthy joints and bones. It can also be effective in treating conditions that affect the bones and the skeletal system." states meanings.crystalsandjewelry.com!

According to charmsoflight.com, "Labradorite treats colds, gout, and rheumatism, lowers blood pressure, and aids in digestion. If you feel you have benefited in any way by the Gemstone & Crystal Healing Properties on this website, please consider making a donation, or investment, into keeping that information alive for your future use and for the use of others."

So if you can't travel to the Smoky Mountains to visit Black Mountain, NC you can wear this bracelet and feel almost as good as you would if you were in that sweet town!
