West Style is a single strand of Turquoise nuggets with an oval focal drop and some faceted Black Spinel rondelles on either side of that drop. It's 16 3/4 inches long and is finished with Delica Glass spacer beads and a Sterling Silver rope style toggle clasp. It just looks and feels like you're out west! It's a bit rustic and boho at the same time.

According to firemountaingems.com, "Turquoise is one of the official birthstones for the month of December, and is heralded as the stone of communication. It encourages enthusiasm, thus inspiring new projects and bringing to light undiscovered artistic abilities. Turquoise also provides understanding and encourages attention to detail while attracting prosperity and success.

The sprawling lines of coppery matrix provide a large amount of energy to its wearer. This may be one reason why the stone has long been prized as a powerful talisman with healing properties. It is believed that turquoise can help balance the blue throat chakra, enhancing the ability to communicate while increasing resistance to viruses, helping to relieve sore throats and allergies."

healing-crystals-for-you.com says, "Black Spinel crystals are known for their action to stimulate inspiring thought. They may also help you to release any built up anger, fear or resentment triggered by situations occurring in your life. These black stones embody a strong grounding action and powerful metaphysical properties. Their action will aid the release of excess high vibration energy to the earth. This makes them beneficial to use after working with high vibration crystals.

They can help to reinvigorate you if you are feeling exhausted, and their vibration may boost your physical energy, aiding you to more easily recover from fatigue."

Turquoise is December's birthstone, but we can all enjoy wearing this wonderful gemstone, and with the addition of the Black Spinel this necklace has increased potential for healing benefits!
