Description

This stunning piece celebrates Mother Earth and your roots to the wild world! Featuring three real cypress leaves that have been preserved in copper. These are not cast from a mold so as in Nature no two are the same. Decorated with jasper "berries" that I've hung all around to really capture the woodland look. Designed to drape artfully and gracefully around your neck. Completely and lovingly handmade by me, each bead is hand wrapped in copper.

Jasper has been revered at least since the time of the ancient Egyptians. The ancient Egyptians wore jasper scarabs as amulets as the stone was believed to increase sexual energy.

Also, both Indians in Asia as well as Native Americans see jasper as a magical rain stone and also a powerful healing stone. Use Jasper as a powerful source of grounding and balance.

Copper can stimulate the flow of energy and hence move Psychic or Mental energies thereby helping the wearer overcome lethargic tendencies, resulting in a more vitalized person with amplified thoughts. They also attribute powers of communication, channeling, cleansing, purification, increasing self-esteem and freeing the wearer of mental burdens.
