I used Sapphire beads, Egyptian Lapis oval beads and AB cystals to match this outstanding piece.  It is approximately 24" long and the pendant with a sterling silver bail is another 3".  It has a large Bali silver toggle.  You would be the center of attention in this piece, no eye would miss you!

Agate - All agates foster love.  Balance, precision, perception, eliminates negativity.  Agates help balance Yin/Yang energy.  Agate can be used to stimulate analytical capabilities and precision while also increasing perceptiveness to situations. Is said to awaken our inherent talents and can be used to produce inspiration from and connectedness with the entities residing in the spiritual worlds. It has been reported to strengthen the sight, to diminish thirst, and to promote marital fidelity. (see also blue lace agate, botswana agate, dragon's vein agate, grey agate, yellow agate, indian agate, moss agate, tree agate).

 

Jasper is a dense, opaque, microcrystalline variety of Quartz. Fibrous and grainy varieties of Quartz are often grouped together and referred to as Chalcedony, though Jasper’s microcrystals are laid out in large, sugar-like grains rather than the fibrous layers of Chalcedony or Agate. It occurs in nodules or as fillings in fissures and may be found all over the world, in nearly every color. Jasper is colored by oxides of iron and known for its deep earthy tones of red, yellow, brown and green, sometimes in shades of blue or purple, and displays wonderful contrasts in its banding, inclusions, “pictures,” and small circular patterns. Its name is derived from the Greek iaspis, meaning “agate,” the Assyrian ashpu, and the Hebrew jashpeh.

 

Lapis Lazuli gemstone meaning

Lapis lazuli is an ancient gem, and as such, has a storied history. Egyptian cultures made a practice of burying a lapis lazuli scarab with their dead, and believed it to offer protection. The very earliest cultures valued lapis lazuli more highly than gold. Greeks spoke of an ancient sapphire which was included with gold, and this was unmistakenly lapis. Some believed that dreaming of lapis would foretell love that would be forever faithful.

 

When working or meditating with Lapis Lazuli, it can bring matters more clearly to the mind. It is one of the most powerful stones and should be used with care. Wearing a Lapis Lazuli ring can help you to become a channel. The ancient Egyptians used Lapis Lazuli as a symbol of Truth.
