These Autumn storms have been almost continuous for days now. They inspired this new 3 strand necklace called Love Autumn Rains. I used Grey Feldspar facets, Labradorite flat ovals, Poppy Jasper rounds and faceted Sunstone rondelles. The Jasper Heart pendant informed the choices of the beads and is clearly the focal point! The short strand is 18 inches and the long one is 21 inches. I used Delica Glass spacer beads and a Silver Filled brass fancy Slide and Lock clasp to complete this piece.

firemountaingems.com states, "Sunstone began as a costly and little-known gemstone until deposits were found in Norway and Siberia. This gemstone has a special history in the United States, where sunstone varieties called "heliolite" have been mined in Oregon. One particular sunstone was found in ancient lava fields of Warner Valley. According to native legend, a great warrior was wounded by an arrow and his blood dripped onto the stones. The spirit of this warrior was carried into the stones and colored them with beautiful tones of red while also imbuing the gems with sacred power.
