"Sparkles Like Diamonds" is a lovely 3 strand necklace featuring faceted and smooth Quartz Crystal beads with faceted Black Spinel beads sprinkled in the 2 longer strands.

The shortest tiny faceted strand is 16 1/2 inches long and the longest strand is 19 1/2 inches long.

I finished this necklace with a pretty Sterling Silver oval toggle clasp.

Inspired by the sparkle and clarity of diamonds, this necklace could be a stand in for the April birthstone which is diamond.

According to crystalcurious.com, "Clear quartz is the most useful crystal to use in crystal healing because it is a blank slate that can be programmed with your intention. With focused concentration in meditation, you can set your crystal to assist you with a particular goal, be it manifestation, healing, or any other outcome. It amplifies energy, including the energy of your intention, or the energy of other stones. It can thus support the work you are doing with other crystals."
