Communication with jewelry

I dropped off some new inventory at The Nature of Art this morning. My stuff has been moving out of there lately and I am pleased. Typically when I bring in new things, I try to 'theme' them. By theme I mean, I create the pieces using a common property from the stones. This month I chose communication.

Here is a smattering of the pieces I took in and their properties.

Chrysocola, lapis, lepidolite, labradorite, larvakite

Chrysocola - gentle stone and its energy works in a gentle, harmonious way.
Labradorite -provides clarity and insight
Lapis - brings truthfulness, openness
Lepidolite - calm, trust, and acceptance.
Larvakite - is associated with the throat chakra where communication comes from









Rhyolite and carnelian

Rhyolite, carnelian, tiger eye
Carnelian - can aid memory.







Lapis, citrine

Lapis - brings truthfulness, openness
Citrine - mental clarity, confidence, happiness and will power





Amazonite, apatite, carnelian

Amazonite - ruth, honor, communication
Apatite - increase intellect, imagination, and intuitive awareness
Carnelian - can aid memory

It's Monday and I am already draggin'

I got some things done over the weekend and feel good about my accomplishment. I am in awe at myself, how I have already lost two of the pieces somehow. I gathered everything up this morning to take some pics to document and the batteries were out on my camera.

So... I am hopin you made some great sales for mothers day and are needing to restock. Here is your monthly sampling of bead shows that may be in in your area for this month.

Happy Shopping!
