This is Citron and Sage, a 3 strand necklace with Beryl, Grossularite/Hessonite Garnet rondelles, round Yellow Calcite and 2 Yellow Opals. I used Delica glass spacer beads and a Silver filled toggle clasp at the ends.

The short strand is 17 1/4 inches long and the longest Beryl strand is 20 inches long. Even though the Grossularite/Hessonite Garnets don't look like the more common red Garnet, they are actually also January's birthstone!

I think the light sage greens and the pale yellow colors of these gemstones create a nice spring combination.

According to firemountaingems.com, "Precious Beryl is said to be first recognized as a powerful stone in ancient Mesopotamia, where it was believed to strengthen belief in the gods. It was viewed as a healing stone in ancient Greece, where precious beryl was dipped into drinking water and that water was drunk to remove kidney stones and bladder ailments. Some oral traditions state that beryls of all kinds make the lazy more industrious and the slow-minded more clever. Precious beryl is also believed to help locate lost property and in divination.

While specific beryl varieties have their own properties (check their individual Gem Notes for details), precious beryl tends to be affiliated by its color: blue-greens to the throat chakra, colorless to the crown chakra, golden-yellow heliodor to the solar plexus chakra, etc."
