The Earth Tones give it a warm and cozy look. It would be a great year round and every day necklace! You can wear it on it's own or stack it with other necklaces for a real statement!

As per firemountaingems.com, "Fancy jasper is an opaque chalcedony celebrated for its wide spectrum of natural color. This variety is especially admired for its layered blend of mauve, lilac, cream and green tones arranged in organic, painterly patterns. The gemstone’s name originates from an ancient Greek term referring to stones marked by distinctive patterning. Used across civilizations for centuries, jasper was shaped into jewelry by ancient Egyptian artisans and carved into seals by the Minoans. While widely available today, jasper was once regarded as a treasured ornamental stone.

Jasper, in all its forms, is considered a powerful healing stone. Jasper is regarded as a gemstone that gives a sense of well-being, intensifying that feeling. Also a stone of gentleness and relaxation, fancy jasper's rich colors blend and complement each other so well for a complete sense of wholeness. Another benefit of fancy jasper is its ability to focus the wearer on the here and now. In metaphysical beliefs, fancy jasper properties include helping people worry less about the future or deal with past guilt. Fancy jasper is associated mainly with the root chakra and the astrological signs Aries and Scorpio."

"Peridot, the birthstone for August, is traditionally given for 16th wedding anniversaries. Known as the stone of compassion, peridot properties are believed to promote good health, restful sleep, and harmonious relationships by balancing emotions and mind.

This cheerful green stone is also thought to enhance eloquence, creativity, and delight while calming anger and attracting love. Legends suggest that peridot set in gold can unleash its full protective potential, guarding against nightmares and negative energies. Roman philosopher Pliny the Elder wrote that wearing peridot on the right arm maximized its protective powers.

Peridot has long been treasured as a gemstone for strengthening friendships, fostering renewal, and warding off envious thoughts."

There is a lot of potential for healing in this necklace!
