Lepidolite- Peaceful pendant

My newest sterling silver wiresculpted pendant...beautiful purple and white with flecks of pink.

Lepidolite was discovered in the eigtheenth century and was originally known as lilalite (from the Hindu word 'lila' meaning play, game). Lepidolite is not technically a gemstone, but a very beautiful purplish type of mica. It is referred to by healers as the Peace Stone.

Some of the uses of lepidolite are:

• Encourages independence for setting and attaining goals inconspicuously


• Protection from outside influences


• Relieves every day stress, and promotes restful sleep when placed near your pillow


• Attracts good luck to those who carry it, and drives away negativity


• When used with rose quartz, it becomes a stone of reconciliation of love

Healing properties of Lepidolite

• Lepidolite can be laid directly on painful parts of the body. It helps with nerve pain, sciatica, neuralgia and joint problems.

Sources of Lepidolite

• Lepidolite is found in Colorado and other parts of the US, and in Brazil.

Today's focus...Birthstone pendants

Birthstone pendants..... I love making these. Each has it's own character they are one-of-a-kind and although you try to duplicate previous pendants the wire takes on a life of it's own.

Birthstones have been around since ancient times, and in those days were believed to possess some magical force that could protect the owner or wearer of the stone. These birthstones were traditionally linked to the Zodiac.
However, modern birthstones are linked to calendar months, and each month has its own unique birthstone, with its own fabled properties. Many people love to wear jewellery set with their birthstone, as the ancient meanings and associations with these stones still intrigue them.

My new favorite artist meet Paulette Insall!

You have to visit her site.... she has an awsome talent! In her own words:

"My art is about the search for connection...to self, to like minded spirits, to family, and to God. The reason that most of my work depicts a sole woman is because these are the stories of my own personal search and the emotions they invoke within my soul. My hope is that the visual stories I create with my art, touch people from all walks of life and let them know that they are not alone...and find comfort in that knowing."

Here is where to see more of Paullette's originals:
