Turquoise is a balancing and calming gemstone. It awakens creativity and clears the way for romantic love. Its health benefits are numerous, including anti-inflammatory and detoxification properties. It has been used as far back as Ancient Egypt for all kinds of healing practices.

Hematite is also prized for its grounding and calming properties, and good for giving one's self-confidence a boost.  It is also a healer, particularly with regard to issues surrounding circulation.

If you need this necklace lengthened or shortened, just let me know and I will alter it free of charge.
