Madrid is a beaded gemstone necklace and bracelet set that is my nod to a wonderful small New Mexican town filled with artists that's not too far from where I live!

I used Black Obsidian tubes, Chrysocolla flat rounds and Turquoise small flat rounds. There are Sterling Silver and Delica Glass spacer beads and it's finished with a large hook and eye silver tone clasp. The shortest of the 3 strands is 18 inches and the longest one is 22 inches.

The single strand bracelet has all of the same gemstones and it's finished with a Pewter heart toggle clasp. It's 7 inches long.

Turquoise is the birthstone for December and it's said that those who wear it receive the "Wisdom of the Ancient Ones"!! wisdomofthespirit.com says, "Turquoise has been cherished for thousands of years, symbolizing wisdom, protection, and tranquility. Ancient civilizations, including the Egyptians, Persians, and Native Americans, revered this stone for its beauty and spiritual significance.

Wisdom & Communication – Many believe turquoise enhances clear thinking and honest communication.

Protection – Historically, warriors and travelers carried turquoise as a talisman for safety.

Balance & Harmony – Its calming energy is said to bring emotional equilibrium."

crystalvaults.com says, "Black Obsidian – a pure, glossy black that may appear deep brown when light is shined on thin edges. Ruled by the planet Pluto, Black Obsidian is a teacher stone and could be deemed the “Warrior of Truth.” It is the most powerful of the Obsidians and does not cater to the ego; rather it exposes darkened areas of the subconscious to force one to face one’s true self. It assists in examining unresolved issues and harmful attitudes inhibiting one’s personal and spiritual growth. Black Obsidian works quickly and can be overwhelming as it rushes negative emotions and difficult truths to the surface to be experienced and released. It should only be used if one is educated on its power and prepared to withstand the process in order to achieve deep healing. It is best used under the guidance of a qualified therapist or healer, and other, gentler forms of Obsidian may be used for this process. Black Obsidian also carries the inherent frequency of protection, sealing the aura and removing energetic attachments, hooks and cords, as well as eliminating negative energies within the self and one’s environment. This protective shield enables one to go back into past lives for healing and to work on ancestral and family lines. It is ideal for use in shamanic ceremonies to remove physical disorders. Black Obsidian slabs, mirrors and spheres are excellent gazing and scrying tools for meditation, divining insight into the future, inducing creativity, and communicating with souls who have passed over. It is an excellent talisman for self-control, reversing previous misuse of power, and addressing power issues on all levels.

According to crystalstones.com, "Black Obsidian has a rich and complex meaning that goes beyond its stunning appearance. This powerful crystal is believed to have a grounding and protective energy that can shield you from negativity and help you tap into your inner strength.

As per mycrystals.com, "Chrysocolla is a Gemstone of Speech, first of all. It is committed to creativity, independence, and instruction at its core. Its tranquil turquoise-blue tint dispels bad energy, relaxes, and enables reality and inherent knowledge to emerge and be understood. A tranquil gemstone highlights the impact of our statements and behavior on people around us, encouraging empathy and personality development.

The gentle romantic nature of Chrysocolla, often regarded as the Learning Gemstone, piques your interest and inspires you to pursue a better understanding. It is recognized as the gemstone of intelligent ladies around the planet, considering its lengthy and famous past with rulers and monarchs.

It encourages women to funnel their vitality into creative exploration, offer their meaning and purpose to society, and rest in the peace of their hearts. It's also known as the hermit's gemstone because of its soothing properties, which assist individuals in keeping calm in times of solitude.

On a more intimate level, Chrysocolla emphasizes the importance of both expressiveness and silence. It is possible to talk and utter everything or to stay quiet and express a great deal. The calming vibration of this gemstone nullifies emotionally charged circumstances, harsh remarks, or fear-filled mockery, allowing one's reality to be conveyed with insight and authentic dialogue.

Chrysocolla encourages harmony and completeness by releasing repressed sensations that prevent the brain from thinking correctly. It also aids males in expressing their fragile sentiments and recovering from violence perpetrated by their partners.

The Learning Stone is responsible for teaching us about expressiveness, consciousness, and the desire to learn more. Chrysocolla may be a good resource for wiping away those self-limiting ideas and unwanted sentiments that can slow you down if you're willing to increase the pace when it comes to sticking into your strength. It's a gemstone of profound self-awareness that may be a powerful resource for people seeking to reconnect with their reality and make healthier methods to share it with the entire world."
