Solidarity 17 is a 2 strand Blue Apatite, Citrine, Delica Glass spacer beads, Yellow Mother of Pearl flower and Yellow Opal necklace that was made in the colors of the Ukrainian flag. 100% of the proceeds from the sale of this necklace will be donated to World Central Kitchen Ukraine. They are working to help feed the fleeing refugee Ukrainian families, and every dollar helps them feed more people.

trulyexperiences.com says, "Blue apatite, like many other gemstones, has multiple benefits and holds a great deal of meaning. People have found that it can help with motivation, ambition, self-confidence and self-acceptance. In general, blue gemstones are associated with the mind’s connection to the spiritual world. This doesn’t necessarily mean any kind of organized religion, but rather an opening of your mind and heart, which allows you to access your authentic self."

According to crystalvaults.com, "Natural Citrine is a premier stone of manifestation, imagination, and personal will. Carrying the power of the sun, it is warm and comforting, energizing, and life-giving. It stimulates the chakras like the sunlight of spring, clearing the mind and stirring the soul to action.

Its frequency awakens creativity and imagination and sustains the process of transforming dreams and wishes into tangible form. With its pure yellow energy, Citrine encourages the fullness of life, fresh beginnings, and new pursuits."

"A protection stone, Mother of Pearl brings the gentle healing power of the sea. It is a stress relieving stone; relaxing, soothing and calming to the emotions. Mother of Pearl stimulates our intuition, imagination, sensitivity and adaptability. It helps our emotions become more harmonious and balanced."

Finally, "Yellow Opal is said to enhance psychic abilities. In physical healing yellow Opal is used to treat gallstones, kidney stones and helps the body fight infection, it is also said to be useful in the fight against Parkinson's disease."

This pretty, fundraiser necklace is also a powerful combination of healing gemstones! The short strand is 16 1/2 inches and the longer one is 18 inches. I used a Silver filled toggle clasp and Delica glass spacer beads to finish it.

A great addition to your spring and summer accessories!
