Mariposa Morpho

10" necklace
Turqouis, Carnelian, Glass Beads, Bronze Butterfly Pendant
 
Turquoise is a most efficient healer, providing solace for the spirit and well-being for the body.  It benefits the overall mood and emotion by balancing and inducing a sense of serenity and peace.  It is empathetic and balancing, helping one to recognize the causes of happiness and unhappiness, and to master them. 
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.  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.
Butterfly asks us to accept the changes in our lives as casually as she does. The butterfly unquestioningly embraces the changes of her environment and her body.  This unwavering acceptance of her metamorphosis is also symbolic of faith. Here the butterfly beckons us to keep our faith as we undergo transitions in our lives. She understands that our toiling, fretting and anger are useless against the turning tides of nature - she asks us to recognize the same.
