Etchings Anklet
This graceful and earthy anklet shows amazing colors! Small rounds of African Brown Rhyolite separated by rich green rounds of African Jade and tiny Hill Tribe Silver with a centerpiece of a small square of the Brown Rhyolite and finishing with a sterling silver trigger clasp. African brown rhyolite beads are an amazing terra cotta color with spots of red-brown and taupe giving this anklet a unique look reminding me of etchings on rock. Rhyolite or Rainforest Jasper is a rock made up of quartz, feldspar, mica, and hornblende, is very closely related to granite. The difference between the two is that while granite forms below the surface of the earth, rhyolite is a volcanic rock that forms when magma is expelled from below the surface of the earth as lava and then cools rapidly.
Rhyolite is known as a stone of resolution and perseverence. It is said to help communication of all kinds, and helps one listen easily and without distorting the message one is hearing. It is also a wonderful stone for meditaiton. Rhyolite balances the Yin/Yang (masculine and feminine) energies. It can help one allow other people into their lives, even if one has been reclusive or solitary. It is also a stone of protection. Physically, Rhyolite is used for cleansing the liver, regeneration, and general healing. It is related to and helpful with the solar plexus chakra primarily, and also the throat chakra. For centuries, Jade was thought to be a single gemstone, but in 1863 two types were recognized: Jadeite and Nephrite. Nephrite is more common, but both types of Jade are tough, fine-grained rocks, suitable for carving. Jade is known as the "dream stone" and a "stone of fidelity". Jade brings realization to ones potential and devotion to ones purpose and is the symbol of tranquillity and wisdom. Jade is said to possess yang (the vital masculine principal) and in China, it was believed to impart immortality. When worn as amulet jewelry, Jade prevents nightmares, heals many diseases, and prolongs life. Jade is also said to promote peace and confidence. It opens the qualities of mercy and compassion for all sentient beings, inspires awareness of the oneness of all that lives. Jade is best known for its ability to open and heal the heart; freeing one from anger, selfishness, and greed. Jade also encourages service to others and the planet. In Buddhism, Jade is known to help bodhisattvas and those on the path of enlightenment and stimulates the energy of Kwan Yin (the goddess of Compassion). Jade soothes the emotions, heals the hips and kidneys, and aids movement on one's life path. Silver can be used as a mirror to the soul and help you see yourself from the outside without judgement. It is used often with gemstones because its able to both attract and retain those qualities that are emitted by the stone and provides a steadying influence for the jewel. Length--9 inches.
