Santa Fe Mood is a fun 3 strand neckace with a few Apatite flat rounds, Greenish Amber colored Tourmaline, 1 Picture Jasper center bead and Turquoise barrels. I used Delica Glass spacer beads and a Silver filled brass slide and lock clasp at the ends. The shortest strand is 17 1/2 inches and the longest one is 20 inches.

According to crystalmuse.com, "The Greeks were the first to recognize the chameleon-like qualities of Apatite and its ability to resemble other crystals such as Peridot. The Apatite crystal stone meaning comes from the Greek word “to deceive,” owing its name to its unique properties. A combination of different levels of fluorine, chlorine, and hydroxide, the Apatite crystal ranges in color from deep blue-green to green to yellow and sometimes pink or violet. The Apatite crystal contains the same elements that make up our tooth enamel, making it an excellent healing aide for dental issues and mending broken bones.

Give in to the inspirational qualities of the Apatite crystal stone and encourage a peaceful respite from the confusion that comes from adulting in the modern world. The Apatite crystal stone helps to reawaken a sense of clarity that lights the path to self-expression. It gives us the guidance we need to maintain the delicate balancing act between following our dreams and the daily responsibilities of adulthood. Made from a common group of minerals containing a calcium phosphate base, Apatite reminds us that truly knowing oneself is the key to opening up the doors of the universe, a place where anything is possible."

Finally, crystaldigest.com says, "Turquoise is a relatively soft stone, so it should be handled with care. It is also susceptible to discoloration from chemicals such as perfume, lotion, or body oils, and it should be kept away from heat.

The word turquoise is from the French word for Turkish, as the stone was originally brought to Europe from Turkey. The turquoise color is thought to represent heaven on earth and is often associated with tranquility, good luck, and protection.

In the metaphysical world, turquoise is considered a stone of communication. It is said to help promote honest and open communication from the heart."
