My potatoes are blooming and the different color potatoes have different color flowers! This is Potato Blossoms, a 3 strand necklace that represents my potato blossoms! I used 4mm Lepidolite rounds, multi colored mixed Agates, Rose Quartz and Delica glass spacer beads. The clasp is a Silver filled round toggle. The short strand is 18 1/2 inches and the long one is 21 1/2 inches.

This us a fun necklace that will dress up any outfit! According to firemountaingems.com, "Lepidolite is sometimes called the "peace stone" or "grandmother stone" because it is thought to have nurturing and calming properties. Within the metaphysical realm, lepidolite meaning is linked to overcoming emotional or mental dependency and helping treat addictions and all kinds of conditions, including anorexia. It is also thought to help those with bipolar disorder because of its mind-balancing properties. Lepidolite meaning is associated with alleviating feelings of stress and nervous conditions while opening the mind and calming the higher self.

Lepidolite is associated with the zodiac sign of Libra and the 7th chakra in the traditional Hindu belief system. The 7th chakra is positioned on the crown of the head and is linked to the brain and central nervous system."

"Rose quartz came to be known as the stone of love and reconciliation from the Greek myth about Aphrodite and Adonis. Their blood was commingled when Aphrodite was cut by a thorn bush while saving Adonis from an attack by Ares (disguised as a wild boar). Their blood stained white quartz to make it a rose-pink color. Later, it became customary for the Romans to use the stone as a gift of love.

Rose quartz is associated with love, beauty and the heart, and rose quartz’s meaning is thought to be a healing aid for the heart chakra. Imbalances of this chakra have been said to cause colds, allergies and psychosomatic illnesses. When in balance, the heart chakra is thought to make one open to love and compassion. Some believe that rose quartz’s properties include calming effects and helping people develop strong friendships."

As per crystalvaults.com, "Agate promotes inner stability, composure, and maturity. Its warm, protective properties encourage security and self-confidence. It is a great crystal to use during pregnancy. [Gienger, 7] Agate also helps new mothers avoid the "baby blues" sometimes experienced after giving birth, and an Agate jewel worn between the breasts encourages lactation. [Megemont, 15]

Agate stops the burning desires for things we do not need, and assists those juggling commitments or multiple jobs. It helps writers express ideas in marketable form, and helps young children learn to walk and not fall as they get older. [Eason, 305] Agate also promotes marital fidelity. [Meloldy, 82]

Agate is useful as a protection amulet when traveling, and is especially effective against traffic accidents. [Megemont, 16]

As a professional support stone, Agate stabilizes the imagination and inspiration of artists, provides personal security for police, telephone workers, cooks, chefs and bakers, and protection from falling objects for builders and construction workers. It provides physical strength and endurance for dancers, dentists, and environmentalists, and emotional endurance for educators and recreational workers. [Mella, 129-133]"
