These unique beads have a fancy barrel shape, with the color of aged metal, yet they are lightweight resin beads. In this necklace, they are combined with forest green mountain jade beads, small, ivory colored riverstone, and gunmetal spacers. The barrel beads measure 5/8" long by 1/2" wide and the necklace length is 18 3/4" long, closing with a silver clasp.
Stone Lore:
Mountain Jade, actually a dolomite marble, is a balancing stone, said to balance male and female energies, and to help one tame excessive energy or hyper-activity when it could become self-destructive. It is used to relieve emotional hurt, loneliness and anxiety.
Riverstone is said to accelerate positive change, especially in conjunction with other treatments, such as herbal therapy.
Hematite is most often used for grounding and protection. Some use hematite in the corners of a room to provide a protective surrounding. It is also used to support logical thinking, self-confidence, and anxiety relief. Physically, it has been used to treat blood illnesses.
