Love of Turquoise has 2 strands of Turquoise and 1 strand of Apatite. The short strand is 17 inches and the longest strand is 19 inches long. I used Delica Glass spacer beads and a silver plated slide and lock flower clasp to finish it.

Tuquoise is December's birthstone. I found this online. "Turquoise, with its beautiful blue hue reminiscent of the ocean, is known for its ability to cleanse negative energy, bring good fortune, and enable truthful communication by connecting to the throat chakra."

energymuse.com says, "In crystal healing, the Turquoise crystal stone meaning is associated with personal protection, making it a popular protective shield for ancient warriors heading out into battle. The bright and stunning hue of the Turquoise crystal has been discovered in the ceremonial masks and battle gear of the Aztecs, a tribe that revered this decorative stone for its ability to provide personal protection against negative forces. In the case of the ancients, it served as a bodyguard against invading marauders and other challenges of antiquity. But the protective energy of the Turquoise crystal stone isn’t just a myth or ancient lore – it is still equally as powerful and effective today."

Online I found this. "Strengthens bones and teeth, Soothes joint pain, Boosts the immune system, Helps with digestion, and Speeds recovery from illness or injury."
