Although "Fall Foliage" is a very Autumn colors necklace, and it's perfect for Thanksgiving, I would wear this all year long! "Fall Foliage" is a 3 strand Autumn Hickoryite, Autumn Jasper, Spotted Chalcedony, Unakite and Copper necklace. I've included a photo of some of the local trees in their fall color splendor so you can see what my inspiration was for this necklace.

Online research led me to this information. "According to metaphysical beliefs, autumn hickoryite stimulates imaginative thinking and a desire for adventure. It is thought to promote stylishness and originality, especially those in the creative arts or people who simply need inspiration for innovative thinking." In addition, I learned the following information. " According to mythology, copper has the ability to conduct spiritual energy back and forth between individuals, crystals, auras, the mind and the spirit world. It is also used for its healing properties in improving circulation of blood, increasing energy and detoxification of the body."

According to firemountaingems.com, "Jasper is considered a powerful healing stone. Autumn jasper helps us move beyond just surviving to making us glad to be alive. Imagine pumpkins, red maple leaves and a long leisurely walk through the country that helps you kick back and relax. The heat of summer is over and the evenings are just cool enough to light a fire in the woodstove or fireplace. Life is good. Somehow you'd forgotten. That's what autumn jasper reminds us of whenever we wear it. Autumn jasper helps to ground and center the wearer, providing support while inspiring tranquility. Personal and environmental negative energy is dispelled, helping the individual reconnect with the Earth." They also say, "Unakite is said to be a stone of vision, opening the third eye and useful for scrying. It is also believed to be a stone of balance, grounding the self while bringing emotions and spirituality together."

Among crystal healing practitioners, unakite is used to support convalescence from illness. It is also believed to affect the reproductive system, healthy pregnancy and the growth of skin and hair.

Unakite is associated with two chakras: to the third eye chakra for its use in vision and scrying and to the heart chakra for its ability to balance emotions. It is not a current birthstone, but it has been historically assigned to March. It is also thought to offer patience and balance to Capricorn and Scorpio.

charmsoflight.com states, "Chalcedony is a nurturing stone that promotes brotherhood and good will. It absorbs negative energy. It brings the mind, body, emotions and spirit into harmony."

Wearing "Fall Foliage" is not just going to make your outfit more special, but it seems that it can make you feel better too!
