I have always been fascinated by nature's canvases ... God's designs are indeed breathtaking. I saw this piece during our Southwest vacation … simply loved the spirituality of the first settlers of North America.

Silver is believed to mirror one’s soul.
Amber is a natural purifier, esteemed for its ability to draw pain and disease from the physical body, as well as the mind and spirit, by absorbing negative or stagnant energies and transforming them into clear, positive energy.
Amethyst has been valued throughout history since 25,000 BC. It is considered a meditative and calming stone.
Azurite has been called the “Stone of Heaven” that aids in the “pursuit of the heavenly self.” It infuses intellectual logic with love, fostering compassion for oneself and others.
Turquoise, perhaps the oldest stone in man’s history, is the talisman of kings, shamans, and warriors. It is a stone of protection. For thousands of years, spanning all cultures, it is prized as a symbol of wisdom, nobility and the power of immortality.
Malachite is a stone of balance, abundance, manifestation and intention.
