Earth's Splendor is a beautiful blend of dark brown with yellow and a touch of red colors with a light brown frame.  This is really a druzy at it's best.  I used faceted yellow jade beads with match the yellow in the pendant with some black onyx faceted rondelles and picture jasper beads for spacers.  The bail is a hand made Sterling Silver piece and the toggle closure is alo a handmade Sterling Silver piece.

Drusy, druse, druzy, drusies - different spellings, but they all mean tiny quartz crystals that form within or on the surface of other stones.

When ground water carrying dissolved silica is forced into a porous area of the rock, rapid cooling often occurs, causing the formation of tiny crystals on the surfaces or in cavities of the rock. The clear crystals often form on top of previously deposited minerals. This is called a drusy.

What Is The Folklore or Legend Behind Jade?

Ancient people thought that wearing jade would increase body strength and add longevity. It was thought that jade would protect the kidneys, live, spleen, heart, larynx, thymus, and thyroid. Jade is an ancient symbol of love and virtue.

Symbolic energy and beauty, the traditional and the modern are combined in jade in a particularly harmonious way. In gemstone therapy it is said that jade stimulates creativity and mental agility while having a balancing and harmonizing effect. This beautiful gemstone is said to bring you joy, vivacity and happiness, all at the same time.
