SOLD!!! I was watching my granddaughter swimming in a pool this morning and the colors and water inspired this necklace! I had the scarab amulet and decided to add it to the Iolite, Lapis Lazuli and Turquoise beads and call the necklace “Along the Nile River”. After doing a little research, I learned that the scarabs were considered symbols for the circle of life and have been revered as a powerful image coming out of Ancient Egypt.

This 3 strand necklace has Delica Glass Spacer Beads and is finished with a silver toned brass slide and lock “wave” clasp. The Scarab is inscribed on both sides. (Photos below).

Both Iolite and Lapis Lazuli are thought to be stones that relate to our throat chakras, and are said to help us “Speak Our Truth”! Turquoise has long been thought to be a stone that helps bring the wisdom of the Ancient Ones to those who wear it. The combination really creates the energy to be able to stand in our truth as we respect the elders and the circle of life.

According to charmsoflight.com, “Iolite creates a strong constitution, ridding the body of fatty deposits. It diminishes the effect of alcohol and supports detoxification and regeneration of the liver. Treats malaria and fevers, and kills bacteria. Iolite aids the pituitary, sinuses and respiratory system.” energymuse.com states, “olite helps to eliminate debt. Instead of living in shame or regret, work with Iolite to climb your way out. This stone unites the mind, body, and spirit, emboldening you to reevaluate your financial life and become more financially responsible.” Finally, thecrystalcouncil.com says, “Many shamans use Iolite in their rituals and meditation sessions for not only the inner journey it brings, but also because of it's healing properties. Iolite strengthens the connection between the third eye and the heart, helping to heal old wounds that are weighing on one's chest.”

Referring back to energymuse.com, “A stone of wisdom, intuition, and truth, Lapis Lazuli is a powerful crystal for anyone seeking to deepen their connection to self. The Lapis Lazuli crystal properties are known for opening the third eye chakra, the center of intuition and inner wisdom.” charmsoflight.com comments, “Lapis Lazuli boosts the immune system, purifies blood, lowers blood pressure, cooling and soothing areas of inflammation. It alleviates insomnia and vertigo, and overcomes depression. Lapis Lazuli benefits the respiratory and nervous systems and the throat, vocal cords, and thyroid, cleanses organs, bone marrow and thymus.”

Lastly, energymuse.com remarks, “The Turquoise crystal properties are connected to the healing energy of water, the life-giving element that sustains the planet and the origins of life itself. This energy of renewal and rejuvenation is what gives the Turquoise crystal its unique ability to support healing intentions and overall well-being.” As per charmsoflight.com, “Turquoise aids in the absorption of nutrients, enhances the immune system, stimulates the regeneration of tissue, and heals the whole body. It contains anti-inflammatory and detoxifying effects, and alleviates cramps and pain. Turquoise purifies lungs, soothes and clears sore throats, and heals the eyes, including cataracts.”

Turquoise is the birthstone for December. Iolite is sometimes used as a replacement for the Sapphire, September’s birthstone.

The short strand is 18 1/2 inches long and the longest one is 21 1/4 inches long.
