Shady Mesa Jasper

1

I just love this stone, from the rich deep reds to the creamy dusky pinks, and all the swirls and patterns – Mother Nature at her best! (I’m excited, can you tell??!!) lol.
The stone is Shady Mesa Jasper from California and is surrounded by deep red and metallic Dusky pink seed beads in a peyote stitch bezel. One side of the stone is encased with gorgeous deep red rectangle genuine Garnets and pink seed beads. The other side has dusky pink Czech fire polished crystal and garnet coloured seed beads with picot edging that really enhances the colours of this beautiful stone. Pendant is backed in black ultra suede.
Necklace has a deep red and dusky metallic pink undulating herringbone rope with silver plated cord ends and a sterling silver ‘S’ clasp,
Just beautiful, this necklace would set off any little black dress (or big black dress in my case!!), the beaded rope feels sexy and slinky to wear.
Pendant measures 4.5cms x 9cms (1 & 3/4 X 3 & 1/2 inches) from top of bail to tip of pendant. . Necklace rope is 48cms (19 inches) long.

GARNET
Garnet is a powerfully energizing and regenerating stone. It revitalizes, purifies, and balances energy, bringing serenity or passion as appropriate. Garnet inspires love, devotion and commitment. It balances the sex drive and alleviates emotional disharmony. Garnet is a useful crystal to have in a crisis. It fortifies, activates, and strengthens the survival instinct, bringing courage and hope into seemingly hopeless situations. Garnet is said to enhance truth, faith and consistency, and to dispel melancholy.
Psychologically, Garnets sharpen your perceptions of yourself and other people. It is said to help dissolve ingrained behaviour patterns that no longer serve you and help to let goof useless or old or obsolete ideas. Garnet is said to remove inhibitions and taboos, and open up your heart and bestow self-confidence.
