Welcome to Phoenix! This 3 strand necklace has colored Magnesite, Red Creek Jasper and Turquoise. It's finished with Delica Glass Spacer beads and a Silver filled toggle clasp. The short strand is 17" and the longest one is 19.5 " without the pendant.

Turquoise is December's birthstone, but it's such a wonderful gemstone that anyone can wear it! It's thought that it brings the wisdom of the Ancient Ones to those who wear it.

According to my research, "Magnesite instills deep peace during meditation. Placed on the third eye, this stone enhances visualization and imagery, and can promote dynamic and revolutionary ideas. It assists in producing an opening of the crown chakra. It also opens the heart chakra and stimulates heartfelt love."

I also found this information. "Red creek jasper is believed by many to bring balance and relaxation, and like all Jaspers, is a stone of protection and grounding. The metaphysical properties of this stone include relaxation, happiness and tranquility, and it is believed to promote compassion, protection and self-discipline."

Finally, firemountaingems.com states, "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. "

The gemstone combination was totally inspired by the colors of the Turquoise pendant that I included in the piece.

Phoenix will make a wonderful gift or an addition to your own jewelry wardrobe.
