Smoky Waters is a 17 inch long necklace of Gray Fancy Jasper, Gray Pearls in 2 shapes and sizes and Sterling Liquid Silver beads. I used Delica Glass spacers and a slide and lock barrel clasp to finish this pretty necklace!

I love how the Fancy Jasper picks up the gray from the Pearls and also has some olive greens peeking through!

According to firemountaingems.com, "Jasper, in all its forms, is considered a powerful healing stone. Jasper is regarded as a gemstone that gives a sense of well-being, intensifying that feeling. Also a stone of gentleness and relaxation, fancy jasper's rich colors blend and complement each other so well for a complete sense of wholeness. Another benefit of fancy jasper is its ability to focus the wearer on the here and now. In metaphysical beliefs, fancy jasper properties include helping people worry less about the future or deal with past guilt. Fancy jasper is associated mainly with the root chakra and the astrological signs Aries and Scorpio.

Jasper gemstones are found all over the world, but fancy jasper has large deposits in Africa and Brazil. Jasper in general is an impure silicon dioxide with unique patterns formed during mineral consolidation that creates the various types of this stone."

Online, Gaia says, "Pearls have long been considered beacons of light for those who see the world through spiritual lenses. In Buddhism, Taoism, and Hinduism, the “flaming pearl” celebrates our wisdom and invites awareness of the divine. For healers and shamans, pearls have been known through the ages as conduits for relaxation and helpful for introspection.

Pearls are known to have alleviated the symptoms related to lung diseases, including asthma, bronchitis, and tuberculosis. For magicians and wizards, pearls are used to negate the effects of poison and attract other-worldly protection. According to ancient and island healers, pearls can stimulate the heart chakra, reduce fevers, eradicate allergies, promote the growth of new cells, and help new mothers relax when giving birth. "

This is a necklace that can be worn with a casual outfit, or for a fancy event!
