I used one Amazonite and 2 round Turquoise beads for each of these pretty earrings, Between the beads are Delica Glass spacers and they're hung from Sterling Silver ear wires. They're 1 1/2 inches long. The contrasting colors of the gemstones make these very striking and pretty!

Turquoise is December's birthstone and is considered a "master healer" gemstone! It's said to improve communication, increase wisdom and is a purifying stone too!

healling-sounds.com says, "The meaning of turquoise transcends cultures and continents. From the ancient Egyptians who buried it with pharaohs to the Native American tribes who considered it a piece of the sky fallen to earth, this stone has always been sacred. Spiritually, turquoise represents the union of earth and sky, grounding spiritual energy while elevating the physical spirit.

At its core, turquoise is a stone of purification. It dispels negative energy and can be worn to protect against outside influences or pollutants in the atmosphere. It promotes self-realization and aids in creative problem-solving. By balancing and aligning all the chakras, specifically the Throat Chakra, the turquoise gemstone empowers you to speak your truth with clarity and wisdom."

According to crystalviden.com, "You might see Amazonite going under many different names. Some refer to it as the “Stone of Hope” or the “Stone of Courage.” It’s sometimes called the “Crystal of Truth” as well!

Whatever you call it, the main Amazonite meaning remains the same. Even with different esoteric cultures, there’s one vein of truth across everything. This stone is about peace and tranquility.

Crystal practitioners around the world view Amazonite as one of the most effective calming stones. Its mere presence echoes the soothing aura of the Amazon and all the life it holds."

These are so pretty and truly will look good on all skin tones and hair colors!
