The sunsets seem to get more exceptional nightly! This is January Sunset lll. I used Spotted Quartz facets with some Jasper heishi beads in the shortest 16 3/4 inch long strand. The middle strand is Golden "Jade" and the longest 20 1/4 inch long strand is faceted Black Spinel. I felt like these gemstones really represented the colors of that sunset the best!

I used Delica Glass spacer beads and a Sterling Silver toggle clasp to complete this 3 strand necklace

As per online information, "Black Spinel is a protective stone that repels negativity and grounds the user while evoking inspiration and empowerment, without overwhelming others. It is also thought to help one find calmness and let go of resentments to re-establish relationships and dispel sadness."

According to prismsscape.com, "Tibetan Quartz is also known as Tibetan Black Quartz or Black Spot Quartz due to its carbon inclusions. It is an ancient and high vibrational crystal that brings purification to the energy bodies. It works to dissolve debris and blocks in one’s energy system and grid, opening channels for higher vibrational frequencies to come in. This activity of Light clears and balances the chakras and meridians. It aids in the expansion of consciousness and the release of limiting beliefs and attachments allowing the freedom to express, heal, create, and serve in ways that are meaningful and beneficial to the individual and planet.

Tibetan Quartz is also a crystal of protection and grounding. It is an excellent meditation crystal, one that lifts you into higher dimensional experiences and one that may awaken you to experience the wisdom and ritual of the Ancients.

In healing, Tibetan Quartz is sometimes believed to be a master healer because it guides one to the root cause underlying the issue. It is believed to be particularly helpful in healing the nervous system, and issues affecting the brain and immune system."

firemountaingems.com says, "As a member of the quartz family (like citrine), yellow "jade"/butter quartz is used by crystal practitioners for many of the same uses as other quartz stones. It is said to be a stone of wisdom, helping users to learn from their experiences and gain self-confidence. Yellow as a color also symbolizes warmth and joy. This stone is also believed to affect the digestive system and increase the metabolism."

Yellow "jade"--as a stone with a yellow coloration--is associated with the solar plexus chakra for its ability to soothe anxiety. It is not a current birthstone, but it has been historically assigned to the summer months, especially the sign of Leo."
