This is Solidarity 8, a 2 strand Blue Apatite, Chrysocolla and Golden Jade necklace that is a fundraiser for World Central Kitchen's work feeding refugee families from Ukraine. All proceeds will be be donated to them.

I used Delica Glass Spacer beads and a Silver filled toggle clasp to finish this necklace, created in colors similar to those of the Ukrainian flag.

The short strand is 16 1/2 inches and the longer one is 18 1/4 inches.

In an effort to help World Central Kitchen's efforts, all pieces in my Solidarity Series, when sold, will generate more money for me to donate, and you will get a lovely piece of hand made gemstone jewelry that is one of a kind.

sagecrystals.com says, "Blue Apatite is a dual-action stone, known for its use of personal power to achieve goals. It clears away confusion, apathy, and negativity. This healing gem stimulates the intellect to expand our knowledge and gain an understanding of truth, gifts which may be used for personal growth or for the collective good.

Blue Apatite is a stone of manifestation and promotes a humanitarian outlook and service to others.

Blue Apatite is a deeply spiritual stone that offers a cleansing influence to the aura, especially in the mental body, the vibratory level associated with psychic perception and paranormal abilities. It is a particularly strong stone to use in past-life or alternate-life work, because of its ability to access the energy levels where the Akashic records and our individual soul patterns exist.

It is excellent as a dream stone for creative problem solving, and for vertical vision, where it is possible to see multiple levels of consciousness operating harmoniously.

Blue Apatite opens, activates, and heals the Third Eye Chakra. It is associated with the thoughtful organization of Capricorn, the duality of Gemini, and the emotional flow of Pisces."
