It's said that "The Wisdom of the Ancient Ones" comes to those who wear Turquoise! This necklace, aptly named Wisdom, is my newest Turquoise piece. It's 3 strand with round Green Opals, Pietersite Heishi beads and multi shapes, sizes and color of Turquoise. The big drop pendant in the center informed my bead choices for the entire necklace!

Turquoise is December's birthstone and most of us think of Turquoise as a southwestern style, but we can all wear it no matter where we live! The short strand is 17 1/2 inches and the longest one is 20 1/2 inches not including the drop pendant. I also used Delica Glass spacer beads and a silver filled slide and lock clasp.

As per firemountaigems.com, "Pietersite, also called "eagle's eye," was named in honor of Sid Pieters who discovered it in 1962 in Namibia, Africa. Pietersite is a trade name for a dark blue-grey breccia aggregate made up mainly of Hawk's eye and Tigereye. It is a variety of Chalcedony (itself a variety of quartz) with embedded fibers of amphibole minerals in varying degrees of alteration. The fibers cause a blue chatoyancy like that seen in Tigereye.

Because its swirling colors resemble a storm, Pietersite is also known as tempest stone. Pietersite meaning is said to center on the spiritual being with the ability to ground an individual to the etheric body—the first or lowest layer in the "human energy field" or aura. Pietersite is said to discharge negative energies and emotional turmoil while cleansing the aura, restoring it to calm. Pietersite is thought to work with the body during meditation, rapidly moving into a higher state of awareness. Pietersite is associated with vision and can be used for a vision quest or shaman journey. According to metaphysical beliefs, Pietersite promotes a concerted activation of the sacral and solar plexus chakras, as well as the third eye, creating a powerful increase in the energy of will and in one's intuitive capabilities. Pietersite meaning is associated with support, strength and increasing self-esteem."

"Turquoise is one of the official birthstones for the month of December and is heralded as the stone of communication. It is thought to encourage enthusiasm, thus inspiring new projects and bringing to light undiscovered artistic abilities. Turquoise is also believed to provide understanding and encourage attention to detail while attracting prosperity and success.

The sprawling lines of coppery matrix provide a large amount of energy to its wearer. This may be one reason why the stone has long been prized as a powerful talisman with healing properties."

Wisdom can become your newest addition to both your jewelry collection and your wardrobe enhancer!
