Pyrite Mountain has 3 strand of faceted Amazonite, small 4mm Bronzite rounds, Outback Jasper rounds, Pyrite rondelles and Turquoise nuggets plus a Turquoise drop. I also used Delica Glass Spacer Beads and a Sterling Silver toggle clasp.

I think this necklace is fun and also a statement piece! The shortest strand is 17 inches long and the longest is 20 1/2 inches long. The Turquoise drop is 1 inch wide and with the Delica Glas Spacers and the Pyrite beads, it's 1 1/2 inches long.

Turquoise is the birthstone for December, but it worn by anyone! It's considered a stone that brings the Wisdom of the Ancient Ones to those who wear it!

All of these gemstones have amazing inherent energies and after doing much research, I've learned about the "healing" attributes that come with all of these stones.

energymuse.com says, "The Amazonite crystal healing properties are the perfect antidote to a pessimist outlook. They retrain you to look for the light and expect positive outcomes. Instead of feeling discouraged or lost, this stone reminds you that there are brighter days ahead, and pushes you to keep going." Also, healingwithcrystals.com states, "Amazonite is helpful whenever too much stress leads to tension and pain. It has a good healing effect for joint complaints that arise from overtaxing, strain, rheumatism, inflammation, liver problems, etc. Amazonite has a mood balancing effect, it is also relaxing and pain relieving. It helps calm the body."

According to energymuse.com, "The Bronzite crystal healing properties are also very protective and grounding, the key elements to restoring harmony, the beautiful balance between mind, body, and soul that's measured in tender, peaceful moments." charmsoflight.com says, "Physically, Bronzite can be used to bring an alkaline body state to the acid condition, helping to fight off infections. It can increase the assimilation of iron and provides an improved duration of iron within the physical body. It aids the body in the normal transformation of cycles."

As per crystalvaults.com, "Jasper is considered highly restorative for tissue deterioration of the internal organs, and useful in treating disorders of the kidneys, spleen, bladder, liver and stomach. It may also aid in balancing mineral content and regulating supplies of iron, sulfur, zinc, and manganese within the body."

Powerful Pyrite, according to charmsoflight.com, "... inspires the universal energies to activate the nourishing energies of the body. It encourages the ideal of health, intellect, and emotional well-being. It allows one to recognize the purity of the universe. It can be used in the treatment of bones and in the healing of cell formation."

Finally, "Turquoise aids in the absorption of nutrients, enhances the immune system, stimulates the regeneration of tissue, and heals the whole body. It contains anti-inflammatory and detoxifying effects, and alleviates cramps and pain. Turquoise purifies lungs, soothes and clears sore throats, and heals the eyes, including cataracts."
