Window to Easthampton is a nod to a great photo that my friend Amber took last week. It’s a remarkable “Window to Nowhere” kind of image. I just loved both the colors and the irony of this photo. I hope I did it justice!

I used Red Aventurine tubes, Amazonite chips, Red Sesame Jasper blocks and Red Rainbow Jasper bricks to get the colors and feeling of this photo. Every once in a while there are various colors and sizes of Delica Glass spacer beads too.

The necklace’s short strand is 17 1/2 inches long and the longest strand is 20 1/4 inches long. Adding the 7 inch long bracelet creates an entirely different look!

energymuse.com says, “The Amazonite crystal healing properties remind us that it's time for our voices to be heard. A powerful throat chakra stone, the Amazonite healing properties help you move beyond the fear of confrontation or judgment so you can freely pursue and express your true self.” charmsoflight.com says, “Amazonite is a soothing stone. It calms the brain and nervous system and aids in maintaining optimum health. Balances the masculine and feminine energies. Amazonite helps you to see both sides of a problem or different points of view.” Something we probably all could use right now!!

They say of Red Aventurine, “Aventurine benefits the thymus gland and nervous system. It balances blood pressure and stimulates the metabolism, lowering cholesterol. Aventurine has an anti-inflammatory effect and eases skin eruptions, allergies, migraines, and soothes the eyes. It heals lungs, sinuses, heart, muscular and urogenital systems.” Regarding Red Jaspers they say, “Red Jasper rectifies unjust situations and grounds energy. Brings problems to light and provides insights into difficult situations. An excellent “worry bead”, Red Jasper calms the emotions. Aids in dream recall. Cleans and stabilises the aura. A stone of health, Red Jasper strengthens and detoxifies the circulatory system, blood and liver.”

This is a great healing necklace although when I created it, I was “painting” with my beads and didn’t think about or realize all of these gemstones healing properties!
