Fall Hickory Leaves is a 3 strand necklace celebrating the rich fall colors of maroon, burnt orange and gold. The Hickory leaves really represent that color grouping! I used Crazy Lace Agate, Garnet and Red Picture Jasper. The ends are finished with Delica Glass spacer beads and a silver tone slide and lock clasp.

The short strand is 17 inches and the longest one is 20 1/2 inches. Garnet is January's birthstone, and this maroon garnet is the 2024 Fall Color!!

As per firemountaingems.com, "Crazy lace agate (also known as Mexican Agate) is young in comparison to many other minerals on Earth. Found exclusively within the area known as Chihuahua, in Northern Mexico, this lacy agate is known not only for its stunning banded patterns, but its powerful healing energies as well.

Similar to other agates and silica rocks, crazy lace agate is a good general healing stone. Crazy lace agate is commonly referred to as the "laughter stone," or "happy lace." It's a balancing and protecting stone, believed to ward off the "evil eye," bringing joy and absorbing emotional pain.

Crazy lace agate helps to increase one's energy and encourage concentration so that one can stay on task and complete goals much easier. This stone's help with focusing makes it a great stone for those with ADHD. It is said this stone promotes inner stability, composure and maturity and its warm protective properties encourage security and self-confidence."

Last, according to sagegoddess.com, "Picture Jasper is often used in spiritual practices and meditation due to its grounding and stabilizing effect on the body and mind. It is associated with the Sacral chakra and promotes creativity, passion, and open-mindedness. The color of Picture Jasper is typically brown or green, symbolizing stability, growth, and abundance.
