I've always wanted everyone to get along, love each other, be sympathetic to other's needs and beliefs, and above all, I've always wanted people to be OK! With everything "going on" in the world, this necklace is my offer or reminder that we can create our own happiness, and help our neighbors, friends, associates and loved ones to create their own happiness too. Sounds naive. Sounds like something a 5 year old might say. I guess this necklace, "Heal Your Heart" was created by my inner 5 year old.

I used Lavender Amethyst ovals and teardrops, Pink Botswana Agate rounds, Rose Quartz facets and ovals and lovely faceted Tanzanite. It's finished with Delica Glass spacer beads and a Sterling Silver toggle clasp.

According to naturalhealinggems.com, Lavender Amethyst,"this pleasant purple crystal has a powerful and protective vibration that blocks negative energy, it calms scattered thinking, eases tension, and puts overindulgence to rest. Amethyst encourages selflessness and enlightenment through a higher state of consciousness. This gemstone calms anxiety and stimulates the mind, bringing deep understanding and spiritual insight. It stabilizes ones mood and creates serenity within the environment, allowing honest and heartfelt communication."
