Desert Night is a 3 strand necklace with 3 Cat's Eye Tourmaline center beads, Moonstone, Picture Jasper and Spinel with Delica Glass Spacer beads and a Silver filled toggle clasp. The shortest strand is 16 3/4 inches long and the longest is 20 3/4 inches.

The fluffy white clouds and nearly full moon created this color palette and although my photos of the night sky aren't good, the memory of the colors and the feeling were my inspiration!

gempundit.com says, "Spinel healing properties aid to improve the wearer's health in many ways. Its real energies activate the 'Root Chakra' and cure the issues associated with it. This gemstone can be worn as an effective remedy to enhance the health of gums, teeth, skin, and spine. It also helps with weight reduction and cancer healing."

As per firemountaingems.com, "Tourmaline is thought to be for people who bear a broken heart, as it encourages love, gently disperses emotional pain and dissolves disruptive feelings. It calms the negative emotions that upset relationships. It is also considered an aphrodisiac, helping people realize when it is safe to love and when it is time to overcome sorrow or traumatic memories. It introduces the presence of compassion and wisdom when dealing with others because it is thought to promote flexibility of thought and open-mindedness."

"Picture jasper is a landscape stone that's believed to help us find our place in the world. When we've stepped off the path or gone down a path we never intended, picture jasper is thought to give the time and space alone to sort through things. This stone is also thought to aid inner silence and strengthen the recall of early memories, so they can be understood and processed. Among practitioners of gemstone healing, picture jasper is a powerful grounding stone that promotes connection to the earth.

Some view this stone as a direct message from the Earth itself, instilling a sense of proportion, bringing comfort, alleviating fear and cultivating harmony. Although it is not an official birthstone, picture jasper is affiliated with the astrological sign Leo."

Also, tinyrituals.com states, "Moonstone helps with all kinds of healing across the physical, emotional, and spiritual. Physically it helps with PMS and fertility. Emotionally it can help bring your hormones into balance and invites you to accept change and embrace new beginnings."

This "painting" with gemstones that celebrates the night sky in the desert is also a very powerful healing necklace!
