SOLD!!! That moment when you look up from under the beach umbrella and see the blue sky meeting the aqua blue ocean is the inspiration for this necklace. This is "Sky and Ocean Meet". It's a 3 strand necklace with Apatite facets and flat round beads and Aqua Goshenite saucers. I used Delica Glass spacer beads at the ends and finished it with a silver filled slide and lock fancy clasp. I LOVE these colors together! Clearly, I'm missing the beach!

The shortest strand is 17 inches and the longest is 19 1/2 inches long.

The uplifting colors aren't the only reason this necklace makes me happy! I've done research on the healing properties of the gemstones and I learned, "Apatite is a stone of manifestation. It is related to service and to humanitarian pursuits. Apatite is attuned to the future, yet connects to past lives. It stimulates the development of our psychic gifts and spiritual attunement, deepening meditation and aiding communication and self-expression on all levels. It balances the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies, and the chakras, eliminating ove ractivity and stimulating under activity.

Psychologically, Apatite increases motivation. It draws off negativity about oneself and others. It is helpful for hyperactivity and autism in children. Apatite enhances creativity and the intellect. It clears confusion and frustration, reducing irritability and awakening the inner self. Apatite expands knowledge and truth and eases sorrow, apathy, and anger.

Physically, Apatite aids in the absorption of calcium, helping cartilage, bones and teeth; healing bones and encouraging the formation of new cells. It improves arthritis and joint problems. Apatite can successfully help in suppressing hunger and raising the metabolic rate, encouraging healthy eating. It heals the glands, meridians, organs and overcomes hypertension.

Blue Apatite opens the throat chakra. It enhances communication in groups and facilitates public speaking. It heals the heart and emotions. Blue Apatite connects to a very high level of spiritual guidance." according to charmsoflight.com.

crystalvaults.com says, "As a crystal of the moon, Goshenite is believed to balance body fluids and hormones, and is highly beneficial in overcoming mood swings, acute PMS, post-natal depression and bi-polar disorders. [Eason, 135]

Goshenite has been credited with improving eyesight, and supports the healing of headaches, insomnia, allergies and sinusitis, and viruses or infections that affect the immune system. It may be used to detoxify and energize the body, reduce stress-related exhaustion and to improve conditions of the leg and arm muscles that result in pain. [Gienger, 18][Eason, 135][Ahsian, 182]

Goshenite offers an uplifting energy, one of plentitude and comfort, inspiration and relief from concerns. It assists in maintaining composure and self-control, and is sustaining through the “surprises” of life. It is an excellent stone for stabilizing relationships and brings a loving and companionable energy to the user. It is conducive to higher thought and creativity, and inspires one to seek a new vision of what is possible and to express one’s message through writing, art or speech. [Melody, 299][Ahsian, 181]"
