It wasn't that long ago that I was being held in my Mothers loving arms.She rocked me to sleep every night even when I was to big to fit in her arms. She just laid me across her lap in the rocking chair, propped up against her shoulder. She told me story after story of her mother. She was a wonderful woman. Kind, gentle, and loving. My Mother told me my eyes were heaven blue just like my grandmother. She loved my eyes. I was told they were my best feature. Heaven Blue is my favorite color. This necklace is definitely Heaven Blue.
** This big bold beautiful necklace is made with Heaven Blue chunky Rock Quartz beads. The very large pendant is a big slab of Fluorite. I used faceted crystals as spacers and a thai silver large toggle. This necklace is about 18 1/2" in length and the pendant is 3 1/2" long.
About these Stones:
* According to folklore, Fluorite was once thought to be the "home of the rainbow" due to the crystal's wide range of colors which many times grow intermingled or side by side. Throughout ancient history, it has been carved into statues, decorative art, amulets and talismans in many locales around the globe. The early Egyptians were known to carve scarabs from the stone along with using colorful specimens in many of their deity statues. The Chinese have been carving Fluorite for over 300 years. And, likened to Amethyst, the ancient Romans believed that a drinking vessel made of Fluorite would also prevent a person from getting drunk. Roman scholar and naturalist, Pliny (known as "The Elder"), thought Fluorite a very precious stone, as was witnessed in the valuable vase Augustus took from Alexandria. Six other vases of Fluorite were taken from Mithridates' treasures and brought to the temple of Jupiter.
In matters of health, in the 18th century, a mixture of water and powdered Fluorite was used to alleviate the symptoms of kidney disease. Today it is most often used metaphysically to enhance and clarify thought processes, and also as a protection stone.
Fluorite may require regular cleansing and is best recharged by wind or water, preferably outside on a clear breezy day or in a clear running stream or brook.
*Natural quartz crystal is used as a cleansing stone to eliminate negative energies from other stones. It is said to amplify the powers of the stones that are used with it.
It is believed to be a powerful tool for memory inmprovement and bringing clarity to to one's consciousness. Healers use it to fortify the nerves, stimulate glandular activity, reduce fevers, alleviate pain, swelling and nausea.
