Rain Clouds is a 3 strand necklace using round Black Agates, Black Spinel, Dalmation Jasper and oval Snowflake Obsidian. I also used black Delica Glass spacer beads and a silver plated brass slide and lock clasp. The shortest strand is 16 1/2 inches and the longest one is 20 inches.

As per crystalviden.com, "On the emotional front, Black Agate is a master healer. It has a similar job to many other black-colored stones. While some associate the color black with negativity and pain, it’s quite the opposite in the crystal kingdom." They also say that it's an emotionally grounding gemstone. "The properties of this stone are said to strengthen the connection between the spiritual realm and the Earthly plane. It muddies the distinction a bit, which can help you find wisdom in the most random places. Not only that, but it opens up the lines of communication between you and your guardian angels."

healingwithcrystals.net/au states, "Spinel is a stone of revitalisation. It can stimulate any of the chakras, as well as the meridian system, bringing fresh energy where it is most needed. It is an excellent aid for reducing fatigue and repleting depleted energies on all levels It supports the physical body in recovery from illness and trauma. Spinel promotes physical vitality, refills energy and eases exhaustion. Spinel is a very soothing stone, as it calms and relieves stress, anxiety, PTSD and depression. This stone is for mental rejuvenation and is invigorating. Spinel detoxifies the body and is particularly useful when fasting, or are using natural diuretics and natural cleansing teas. This stone encourages moderation in all things, including food and sleep."

According to firemountaingems.com, "It's no surprise the Dalmatian stone, with its resemblance to Dalmatian dogs, is said to create a sense of playfulness in those who see and wear it. It reminds us to enjoy the simple things in life and helps us feel lighthearted. Also, according to metaphysical beliefs, Dalmatian stone promotes devotion towards other people. It's not uncommon to see this stone used for people who have nightmares as the black spots are believed to suck up negative or chaotic energy to encourage a good night's sleep."

Finally, charmsoflight.com says, "In addition to the generic healing properties of Obsidian, Snowflake Obsidian is calming and soothing. It teaches you to value mistakes as well as successes. A stone of purity, Snowflake Obsidian provides balance for body, mind and spirit. It helps you recognize and release “wrong thinking” and stressful mental patterns. Promotes dispassion and inner centering. Snowflake Obsidian empowers isolation and loneliness, aiding surrender in meditation.

Snowflake Obsidian aids in disorders of the veins and the skeletal structure. It improves circulation and alleviates muscular aches and spasms. Treats joint pain (arthritis) and hardening of the arteries."

A nice change from a basic black necklace, Rain Clouds has dimension, varied colors and lots of healing possibilities!
