The listing, Unusual and Lovely - Amethyst & Bead Necklace - 76" Long! has ended.
As you can see in the first pic, this necklace is long even when folded to four strands! It is truly beautiful featuring amethyst nuggets with four black reflective beads between each jewel. The black beads pick up whatever color is close to them, so they will shine green, red, purple, etc. The amethyst nuggets are all about 1/4", a nice size. I folded it 4 times and measured and got 19". That times 4 is 76". You can wear this with 2 strands or 4 or tie it in a knot, whatever you like.
In the 3rd pic, you can see a 'free clasp' on the necklace. It can be opened and removed and you can put as many turns of the strand as you like through the clasp. It helps hold them together. Rather clever, I've not seen one like this before.
Purple Amethyst has been highly esteemed throughout the ages for its stunning beauty and legendary powers to stimulate, and soothe, the mind and emotions. It is a semi-precious stone in today’s classifications, but to the ancients it was a “Gem of Fire,” a Precious Stone worth, at times in history, as much as a Diamond. It has always been associated with February, the month the Romans dedicated to Neptune, their water-god, and is the traditional birthstone of that month. It is the stone of St. Valentine and faithful love, and signifies ecclesiastical dignity as the Bishop’s Stone. It carries the energy of fire and passion, creativity and spirituality, yet bears the logic of temperance and sobriety.
