Southern Sunrise is a 3 strand cool toned necklace of Dendritic Pink Opals, faceted Rose Quartz and round Pink Botswana Agates. I used Delica Glass spacer beads and a silver filled brass slide and lock clasp also. The short Rose Quartz strand is 16 inches and the longest Dendritic Pink Opals and Rose Quartz is 19 1/2 inches. Opals are the birthstone for October.

Rose Quartz is considered a "stone of love" and is thought to heal the heart on every level. According to charmsoflight.com, "Rose Quartz is the stone of universal love. It restores trust and harmony in relationships, encouraging unconditional love. Rose Quartz purifies and opens the heart at all levels to promote love, self-love, friendship, deep inner healing and feelings of peace. Calming and reassuring, it helps to comfort in times of grief. Rose Quartz dispels negativity and protects against environmental pollution, replacing it with loving vibes. It encourages self forgiveness and acceptance invoking self trust and self worth.

Rose Quartz strengthens and balances the physical heart and circulatory system, and releases impurities from body fluids. It hastens recovery, reduces high blood pressure, aids chest and lung problems, heals the kidneys and adrenals, and alleviates vertigo. A good energetic support for those with leukemia. Rose Quartz has the power to increase fertility and to protect both mother and unborn fetus from miscarriage."
