Changing Woman

24"  necklace made with Moonstone, Quartz, garnet, citrine, and coral chips along with glass beads.  Pendant is Carnelian.
 
A stone for “new beginnings”, Moonstone is a stone of inner growth and strength.  It soothes emotional instability and stress, and stabilises the emotions, providing calmness.  Moonstone enhances intuition, promotes inspiration, success and good fortune in love and business matters
 
Clear Quartz is known as the "master healer" and will amplify energy and thought, as well as the effect of other crystals.  It absorbs, stores, releases and regulates energy.
 
Garnet balances the sex drive and alleviates emotional disharmony.  It activates and strengthens the survival instinct, bringing courage and hope.  Garnet removes inhibitions and taboos.  It opens the heart and bestows self-confidence.
 
Citrine is a fabulous stone for women in particular, relieving menstrual symptoms as well as menopausal symptoms.  Powered by the Sun, Citrine is useful for the balancing of the yin-yang energy and for aligning the chakras with the ethereal plane. It activates, opens, and energizes the sacral and solar plexus chakras, directing, via personal power, creativity, and intelligent decisiveness. 
 
Coral forms in warm waters from the skeletons of marine animals that live together in what could be considered a community. As the colony grows, branches form in a specific pattern much like our own metaphysical community has many facets. In this, Coral shows that as we embrace the future some of the past remains with us as a foundation while our branches embrace a brave new world and adapt to the challenges it offers.
 
Carnelian lends the courage needed to help overcome difficulties and defend a cause. It promotes idealism, a sense of community and pragmatism. Orange and red Carnelian are important crystals to use for love, and for the consummation of love. Orange crystals, in particular, are fertility and potency symbols and are linked with conceiving a child. Carnelian of either color may help in rekindling passions that might have faded in an otherwise loving relationship.  Carnelian honors Isis, the Egyptian Goddess of Life, the most important goddess of Egyptian mythology. She is widely honored as a Goddess that brings the power of the divine feminine.
