Cove Sunset is my version of a lovely sunset photo sent to my by my friend in New England. Jenn takes the most gorgeous photos of sunsets from Herring Cove, and this set is my thank you to her for sharing some of those photos with me.

I used Aqua Goshenite discs, large oval Blue Agates, uneven round Orange Agate, Sunstones facets and silver toggle clasps. Delica Glass spacer bead are scattered around both pieces and are next to the toggles also.

firemountaingems.com states, "Goshenite is believed to develop practical thought when making decisions, helping one see an argument from all angles and then take appropriate action. Goshenite is thought to be a gemstone that encourages truthfulness in all words and actions. Metaphysical beliefs hold that Goshenite promotes self-control, creativity and originality. Goshenite is a gemstone that is said to facilitate communication and resolves relationship misunderstandings.

Goshenite opens the crown and etheric chakras to stimulating the mental centers. Goshenite is not a birthstone, but is associated with the astrological sign of Gemini."

"Agate is the birthstone for the zodiac sign of Gemini, but is not a traditional birthstone for a birth month. Blue is associated with truth, loyalty and reliability. Its importance for healing has been recognized since the Golden Age of Greece. It was revered in ancient Indian and Chinese civilizations. Today, healers who work with color use blue stones for diagnosing and treating throat-related problems. And, poise and serenity have always been associated with blue light. Even the expression "feeling blue" comes from blue's cool, sedative effect. No wonder even people who don't "love blue" are drawn to people who do."

"Since "sun" is in this gemstone's name, it's no surprise Sunstone is associated with the radiance of the sun and the energy it produces to sustain life. Sunstone is said to be a stone of leadership, encouraging the wearer to be open, benevolent and willing to bestow blessings upon others. Also known as a stone of joy, Sunstone is believed to inspire good nature and an enjoyment of life. According to metaphysical beliefs, Sunstone is highly effective in cleansing auras and chakras. Sunstone is predominantly associated with the Base and Sacral Chakras."

As per beadnova.com, "Healing crystals made of orange agate act as grounding stones, bringing about emotional balance and physical and intellectual equilibrium. The orange agate properties contribute to finding one’s center and stabilizing one’s bodily energy.

Healing crystals made of orange agate meaning can bring balance to yin and yang, the complementary negative and positive forces responsible for holding the universe together.

A slow-moving gemstone that brings enormous power, agate is known for its sedative and reassuring properties. However, because it has so many layers, it can reveal previously concealed information.

It helps with self-analysis and observation of hidden situations, bringing your focus and attention to issues to any disease that is getting in the way of your well-being and assisting you in analyzing yourself. Agates increase mental function by heightening one’s capacity for concentration, perception, and analysis, resulting in more appropriate solutions."

The pieces can be sold separately. The 7 1/4 inch long bracelet is $39.95 alone.
