Mountain Sunrise is a 3 strand necklace of Spiney Oyster Shell tubes, silver filled slide and lock clasp and 3 sizes and shapes of blue/green Turquoise. It's my interpretation of mountain sunrises from all of the "hilly" places that I've lived. The short strand is 16 1/2 inches and the longest one is 19 1/2 inches without the focal drop which adds another 1 1/2 inches. Stunning!

Turquoise a fantastic gemstone for healing. charmsoflight.com says, "Turquoise is a purification stone. It dispels negative energy and can be worn to protect against outside influences or pollutants in the atmosphere. Turquoise balances and aligns all the chakras, stabilizing mood swings and instilling inner calm. It is excellent for depression and exhaustion, it also has the power to prevent panic attacks. Turquoise promotes self-realization and assists creative problem solving. It is a symbol of friendship, and stimulates romantic love.

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. It neutralizes over-acidity, benefits rheumatism, gout, stomach problems, and viral infections."

As per lavha.com, "The spiny oyster shell is considered the "stone of the sea" and is found in only one area along the Baja Coast in California and Mexico, also called the Sea of Cortez. It carries the energy of water that brings understanding and peace of mind. It also has the ability to increase intuition, creativity, compassion, adaptability, serenity and comfort. It dispels impatience, confusion and hopelessness."

I also used Delica Glass spacer beads in each strand and at the ends too.

This necklace is very southwestern in style, but it represents sunrises over tree lined hills and mountains anywhere!

A powerful statement necklace, Mountain Sunrise would be a wonderful addition to your jewelry wardrobe.
