Long genuine turquoise necklace made with combination of tear-shaped and round flat beads with Tibetan brass inlaid beads. Measures 40" long, can be doubled or worn as a Y-necklace. The turquoise has been a most sacred stone by ancient and contemporary cultures who are mystically and spiritually inclined. It was sacred in Egypt along with malachite and lapis lazuli. It was sacred to Persian culture, where it symbolizes purity. It is highly respected by Tibetan Buddhists and the American Indians, who believe it to be a protector and guardian of the body and soul. Turquoise has the capacity to absorb negative feelings that would come to its wearer. This stone carries a strong healing vibration, which is magnified by its high copper content. WHISPERING ROCKS - one of a kind jewelry handmade with love. It all started with a love of gemstones and minerals, and with a desire to adorn women with unique pieces of jewelry. Handmade with natural materials, and without the excessive prices. Gemstone beads exude positive energy unique to specific minerals. Later, we added shells, wood, organic beads, handmade glass, etc. Some of the jewelry was made using sterling silver, and the rest - with base metal to keep prices low. If you like a particular design from our store, custom orders are accepted (subject to availability of particular gemstones and findings).
