The Snorkeling Pool is my version of the gorgeous photo of the favorite snorkeling pool in Hawaii that some of my family is enjoying! It's a 3 strand necklace of faceted Amazonite, Amazonite "pebbles", Apatite flat rounds and Turquoise. I finished it with Delica Glass spacer beads and a Silver filled toggle clasp. The shortest strand is 17 inches long and the longest one is 20 inches long. I think you'll feel like you're on a warm beach somewhere when you wear this necklace!!

According to my research, firemountaingems.com says, "Amazonite is believed to have many metaphysical powers. Amazonite stones are also thought to have tremendous healing abilities. Similar to jade, Amazonite is associated with money, luck and overall success. It's known as the "gambler's stone," encouraging good luck and fortune.

Amazonite is said to have a soothing effect on the nervous system. Since the nervous system controls our emotions a great deal, this stone is said to soothe tense and aggravated situations and to enhance love. Since this stone is associated with the throat and heart, it is best when worn as a necklace near these areas. Amazonite is said to bestow truth, honor and integrity to its wearer.

Amazonite is used to treat fatigue, trauma or anything else that may take energy away from a person. Amazonite is said to help problems with the thyroid glands and also aids in treating alcoholism. It has a gentle healing quality that is useful to nearly everyone in a general manner."

"Apatite is aligned with the zodiac sign of Gemini.The gemstone is believed to decrease appetite (hunger) as well as enhance insight, creativity and learning. It is said that wearing apatite will enhance focus, clarity for concentration, intellect, acceptance and unconditional love. This acceptance and unconditional love relates to the self as well as from others."

"Turquoise is one of the official birthstones for the month of December, and is heralded as the stone of communication. It encourages enthusiasm, thus inspiring new projects and bringing to light undiscovered artistic abilities. Turquoise also provides understanding and encourages attention to detail while attracting prosperity and success.

The sprawling lines of coppery matrix provide a large amount of energy to its wearer. This may be one reason why the stone has long been prized as a powerful talisman with healing properties. It is believed that turquoise can help balance the blue throat chakra, enhancing the ability to communicate while increasing resistance to viruses, helping to relieve sore throats and allergies."

You can look fantastic, and hopefully even feel better than ever with The Snorkeling Pool!
