Let It Rain! 3 strand Labradorite necklace (Copy) (Copy)
Let It Rain is my ode to this late monsoon season, full of sudden thunderstorms, continuous drizzle and full on downpours! In the high desert, we're used to some monsoons, but this week has been beyond "normal". All of that inspired this 3 strand Labradorite necklace. I used many shapes and sizes including the beautiful teardrop Labradorite and silver pendant.
The short strand is 16 inches and the long one is 20 inches not including the pendant which is 2 inches long. I finished the ends with sparkling clear glass spacer beads and a silver filled brass slide and lock clasp. Everything is sparkly and reminds me of the rain water that's everywhere!
fremountaingems.com says, "Labradorite is named for its discovery in Labrador, a province in Canada on the Isle of Paul. According to Inuit legend, a warrior saw the Northern Lights trapped in stone and freed some of them with his spear, leaving the rest behind to shimmer within Labradorite. The Inuits revered it as a "fire stone" and used powdered Labradorite to treat ailments.
First introduced to Europe in the 18th century by Moravian missionaries, Labradorite quickly gained popularity. Though originally found in Canada, Labradorite also occurs in Mexico, Russia and Finland.
Labradorite meaning often ties into spiritual protection and inner strength. This powerful gemstone is considered a guardian of the aura, shielding the wearer from negative influences. It is also thought to restore energy and support emotional healing, making it a favorite for those who tend to overwork.
With its color-shifting quality, Labradorite is regarded as a stone of transformation, believed to enhance inner wisdom, willpower and self-worth. It’s also linked with the throat chakra, encouraging clear communication. Though not associated with a specific zodiac sign, Labradorite is said to resonate strongly with Cancer."
I love the subtle blue and tan hues within these stones that really compliment the silvery gray color. This is a wonderful necklace to accessorize any outfit. It's a "goes with all colors" piece!
