Fossil Coral is a single strand, 18 inch long mixed Moonstone beaded necklace with a beautiful Fossil Coral pendant. I finished it with Delica Glass spacer beads and a heart shaped silver filled toggle clasp. This really is a one of a kind necklace!

firemountaingems.com says, "Fossil coral is a natural gemstone that is created when prehistoric coral is gradually replaced with agate. Corals are marine animals and it is their skeletons that are fossilized and preserved. The fossil coral forms through hardened deposits left by silica-rich waters. The entire process can take over 20 million years.

According to metaphysical beliefs, fossil coral is a grounding stone good for bringing about change. Agate is thought to be able to help heal pancreatic disorders and improve blood and air circulation. Fossil coral is used for healing eye, skin and stomach illnesses. It is even believed to enhance longevity.

Although coral is not a traditional birthstone for any month, it is a non-traditional zodiac stone for Taurus."

"Moonstone, by its very name, has been connected to the moon and to the subconscious and unconscious. It is believed to encourage lucid dreaming and promote emotional openness to new experience. This openness is part of how moonstone is thought to relieve stress--by calming the mind and soothing the spirit. Gem therapists and Ayurvedic doctors even use a specific form of moonstone (called godanti) to cure anxiety and strengthen the will.

Moonstone is a multi-use material, affiliated by color with a range of chakras: peaches to the sacral for reproductive health, whites to the crown chakra for spiritual or psychic experiences, greys to the heart for emotional changes. Women are sometimes recommended to remove moonstone during the full moon.

This gem is an alternate birthstone for June, popular with Geminis and Cancers. It is considered a birthstone for June in Tibetan lore and for September in Ayurvedic healing. See ''Alternate Choices for Birthstones'' for details."

This necklace can be worn with every color, and would be perfect for almost any occasion!
