Green Chalcedony, Opalite and Silver Necklace

17 inches, large solid sterling silver beads, 4mm round sterling silver beads, large green opalite beads, 1.3 inches green chalcedony pendant in silver, sterling silver toggle clasp and findings.

Green Chalcedony

Chalcedony symbolized calmness and composure, and for the Tibetans it is a stone of purity and concentration and internalization of the essential. The name is said to have come from the city of it's discovery, Chalcedon on the Bosphorus. It was quite a popular decorative stone in antiquity, when it was carved with motifs of the air and water deities and water sprites. Some Green Chalcedony is also known as Chrisophase. It is said to bring prosperity and good fortune and success. It enhances and strengthens friendships, helps disperse negative thoughts and emotional balance. It is primarily a calming and balancing stone for the heart chakra (the 4th chakra) stone, which it activates, opens and energizes. A stone for peace, calm and soothing of the emotional body, very useful during these very fiery times of solar activation, which has all of our emotional bodies a bit scratched up.

Opalite

Opalite is a man made silica based stone, made from opal. Despite the fact that it is a man made stone, it does seem to have metaphysical properties (probably from the base opal silica). It is said that it helps stabilize mood swings and promote relaxation. Because of these properties, some have said that it is useful for people with mood disturbances and people with sleep disorders. Opalite can also be used to enhance emotional strength during periods of stress, such as transitional periods or other very busy, high-pressure stages of life. It seems to work with both the heart chakra and the third eye, and like the chalcedony, it is a soothing stone for the emotional body.Also something about the opalescent vibration captures the light of the higher dimensions. When I go into meditation into the higher dimensions of angelic light, the quality of the colored light of the higher planes often has an opalescent hue.

Sterling Silver

Tons of Sterling Silver on this necklaces, all the beads, the clasp, the findings and the pendant are all high quality silver. Silver is the most lunar and feminine of metals. It is a conductor for the emotions but also of all the energies of the other stones, which is why I usually use real silver for all my pieces. This silver is particularly "white" and once again has within it aspects of the higher dimensional light.Overall a piece that, esthetically, feels almost vintage, but energetically, is very subtle, soothing and yet potent.

Much love ♥
