Metaphysical - Aquamarine Crystal

One handsome chunky aquamarine crystal, acquired through an estate auction in 1995, this crystal has had its natural point removed to make a faceted gemstone. Back in the day, this was customary procedure for many lapidary folk....its how they honed their faceting skills and practiced perfect facets.

None the less this specimen is crystal clear and with an awesome iced aqua coloring. Wrapped in 20 gauge sterling silver round wire, completed simply with 2mm tan leather cord, an adjustable slip knot and one lamp work bead made from recycled Idaho Prairie Glass shards.

The neck length limits are 16" up to 24". The natural crystal measures: 1 1/8" wide by 5/8" thick 1 1/4" tall....or 40 grams...or 1.20 ounces.

“Aquamarine is a stone of courage. Its calming energies reduce stress and quiet the mind. It harmonizes its surroundings and protects against pollutants. In ancient times it was believed to counteract the forces of darkness and procure favor from the spirits of light. It was carried by sailors as a talisman against drowning. Spiritually, aquamarine sharpens intuition and clairvoyance. A wonderful stone for meditation, it evokes high states of consciousness and spiritual awareness and encourages service to humanity.” Reference guide: The Crystal Bible – Judy Hall

This metaphysical pendant will arrive in a hand made gift box from my other shop: ecovinatgevegan.etsy.com
where my other love of making hadn made boxes have been featured on the flip book cover of December issue of Country Living magazine.

Idaho Spencer Opal - Pendant

One hand worked, hand sandwiched and hand tripleted Spencer Idaho Fire Opal. The very last opal worked and sandwiched by hand under the teaching of Bob Stoubaugh, master opal lapidarian and seen often on "Exploring Idaho" PBS segments regarding collecting and working Idaho specimens.

This opal presents itself clearly with bounces of red, purple and blue flaming fire, across the entire sandwich. *Sandwich, meaning: a thin opal layer sandwiched by a clear quartz cabochon top and a ignumbrite or obsidian based flat bottom. Basically a "sandwich" of spectra color enhanced by other other natural gemstone bodies. Because the opal layer itself can often be paper thin it needs protection from other stones to not only enhance its beauty but protect it too.

“Opal amplifies your traits and characteristics. Helps you recognize and feel the creativity within the self, providing inspiration and imagination to all situations. It furthers clean, true, spontaneous action, enhancing what you are feeling and allowing for the release of inhibitions. Strengthens the memory and instills faithfulness and loyalty in love and personal relationships. It is a stone of happy dreams and changes. The happy dreams arising from the understanding of personal higher potentials and the glad acceptance of your inherent perfection. The happy changes come from those events which allow your aspirations to surface.” Reference guide: Melody – Love Is In The Earth

This opal measures2" long in a free-form style, wrapped in 20 gauge sterling silver and finished sweetly with 2mm tan leather cord, a vintage abalone shell button clasp and has a neck length of 15.5"....I can extend the length if needed for the etsy shopper.

The pendant will arrive in a hand made gift box, sent Priority Mail.

Vaginal Companion Pendant Pieces - Personal Ornament

A set of two companion pendants, mirroring and reflective of Va-Jay-Jay natural image and contour of the female anatomy.

It's rare to discover the human form, the human sexual organs in any rock formation. These natural agates reveal (for me) the natural splendor of the female vaginal opening. Honestly, not for everyone, but neither is my style or presentation of my rock.

These stones were discovered by my friend on her trip to Montana for a show, "goglassgirl" etsy shop features heirloom quality kaleidoscopes and vintage china bracelet's.

What she saw in these agates is truly what I tried to represent in the wire-wrap and completion of the shared companion pieces. The lighter of the agates - Angel Wing - completed in 2mm tan leather cord with an adjustable slip know closer, neck length 16" up to 22" and features three lamp work beads from the etsy shop of "skaramouche".

The second agate - Moss Agate, with a plume cavity, completed in 2mm black leather cord with an adjustable slip know closer, neck length 16" up to 22" and features three lamp work beads from the etsy shop of "skaramouche".

Each stone measures within an inch to an inch and a half in size.

The Vaginal Va-Jay's will arrive with two hand made recycled leather business card wallets.

Shipped Priority Mail in the U.S. only.
