My dear friends are in Tuscon for the month of March, trying to escape winter, and over the weekend they woke up to SNOW!! I received this inspirational photo and that led me to create "Snow in Tuscon".

I used faceted Gray Chalcedony "coins" for the gray sky, Snow and Tourmalinated Quartz with Labradorite for the snow and snow covered trees and Tigers Eye for the wet patio! Even snow in Tuscon can be beautiful!

It's finished with a silver filled toggle clasp. The shortest strand is 18 1/2 inches long and the longest is 20 3/4 inches long.

After creating this necklace, I did some research on all of the stones that I used. Here's what I learned!

The Labradorite crystal healing properties are linked with the crown chakra, the energy center that governs spiritual expansion and higher levels of the mind and spirit. If you're looking to expand your mind and increase your spiritual growth, the Labradorite crystal meaning can connect you to higher realms of consciousness. Among other abilities, Labradorite is helpful for the lungs and assists with respiratory issues. It's also helpful for digestion and your metabolism!

Chalcedony's healing properties can build the immune system, repair the mucous membrane, and heal any throat, sinus, or ear problems. It can also stimulate the blood flow without negatively affecting the blood pressure, and it can encourage blood clotting. Chalcedony can provide cleansing to the body.

According to meanings.crystalsandjewelry.com, " Snow Quartz is known to help the pituitary and pineal glands, which are responsible in regulating your body's hormonal functions. This crystal is also considered beneficial to the immune system and in getting rid of infections and diseases in the body."

As per charmsoflight.com, "Grounding Tourmaline Quartz combines the properties of Tourmaline and Clear Quartz Crystal. Tourmaline purifies ones own energies and protects from negativity, while Quartz amplifies energies focused through it." It's considered a great stone for "walking meditation" in tranquil forests or any peaceful outdoor setting.

energymuse.com states, "The Tiger's Eye crystal gets its healing properties from a combination of the sun and Earth elements. This is what gives it both grounding and inspiring vibrations. Similar to a tiger's stripes, Tiger's Eye crystal has an appearance to match its powerful energy." charmsoflight.com says, "Tiger Eye treats eyes, throat and reproductive organs, releases toxins, alleviates pain and is helpful in repairing broken bones and strengthening the alignment of the spinal column. Color Healing with Tiger Eye In addition to the generic healing properties of Tiger Eye, specific colors have additional attributes."

I wanted to take the odd event of snow in Tuscon and celebrate that beauty! This necklace is a great addition to your year round jewelry collection.
