Amethyst is a quartz crystal and is known for its healing powers to help with physical ailments, emotional issues, and provide energy. Well, that about sums up what I can use on a daily basis. I enjoyed the process of making this necklace. Starting with a polished stone and trying to figure out the do's and dont's of polymer clay, bamboo pieces and twine proved challenging yet rewarding. This beauty is at @ 26 inches in length and can be worn casual or dressed up.
