Beading - crystal necklaces
A long while ago, Raphael purchased some beads (at a REALLY good price) from Ebay. As you can see in the picture, we got four strands of semi precious stones. They are celestite, charoite, sodalite, and the light blue teardrop ones I have no clue....For an extremely long time I have wanted to get some charoite (the purple stones). It is very expensive because it is rare: it is only found in one particular area of Siberia. I managed to find this 16" strand for a great price, $34 US. I have been wanting it for it's metaphysical properties. Allow me to quote from a crystal encyclopaedia of mine: "Charoite is a stone for this age. It provides for a synthesis between the heart and the crown chakras and combines the higher spiritual dimensions with unconditional love from the physical plane. (...) This mineral provides for transmutation of negativity and for grounding of the spiritual self. " Well, it does a Hell of a lot more but the main purpose is transmutation of fear. Exactly what I need right now. Hopefully I will notice an improvement in my life with the help of my new friend, that I finally got around to putting in necklace form:
The camera really doesn't do it any justice...my camera died before I could take better shots. In case you can't tell, I also made matching earrings :) I also made a necklace for Raph, as he was harrassing me for a long time to make him one. Here you can see his new celestite necklace. He wanted a blue crystal necklace forever, also for it's properties.
