Unakite Slider Rope

Description

Another of my endless ropes with a natural gemstone slider pendant. This one is a unakite teardrop 34mm long 24.5mm wide at the widest point and 15mm thick.

The rope portion is 23 inches in length for ease in slipping over the head without need of a pesky clasp. I made the rope a matching shade of 11/0 Czech glass seed beads to the salmon threads in the stone.

Unakite is a semi-precious stone native to the mounatains of North Carolina. It is also called "epidote" which is derived from the greek "epidosis", meaning "growing together". It is a combination of red jasper and green epidote solidly bound together...hence the statement "what comes together belongs together".

Unakite is said to lift one's spirits and help you see the beauty in life. It is also used to uncover deception. Used in spell casting, unakite gives the user more confident control of any spell and the user will find things lost or missing with the stone.

I wear very little jewelry myself, but I do have a unakite pendant similar to this one on an infinite rope chain that I slip over my head before going anywhere. It goes with any outfit and is so comfortable I forget I have it on. I wear the stone as a reminder that my heart is in NC with my children and grandchildren.

Please come back again to see what new baubles reside here in my little shop to entice you.
