Peas and Carrots is a single strand 18 1/2 inch long necklace finished with Delica Glass spacer beads and a silver Lobster Claw clasp. I used Green and Red (Orange) Aventurine and Faux Green Glass Pearls. This necklace is fun and looks great with the all Carrots Pearl Necklace called, Carrots! You can purchase them separately, or get the pair for a great spring look!

chakra balancing with crystalsRed Aventurine Chakra Healing and Balancing Energy

Red Aventurine clears and activates the Base, or Root Chakra, located at the base of the spine. It controls the energy for kinesthetic feeling and movement and is the foundation of physical and spiritual energy for the body. When physically out of balance symptoms manifest as lethargy, low levels of activity, low enthusiasm, and a need for constant stimulation. When spiritual energies are out of balance, one may feel flighty, disconnected from reality or distant. Red crystals are used to clear and balance the Base Chakra, allowing the physical body to regain its strength and stamina, and to rekindle the spiritual energy in the form of security and a sense of one’s own power. It often leads to independence and spontaneous leadership.
