There is nothing at all average about this beautiful necklace! This piece of Southwest jewelry is hand strung out of genuine sterling silver and real multicolor beads. The necklace consists of: 2-mm silver round beads, 9-mm Turquoise round beads, 6-mm Onyx rondelle beads, and a 30-mm Azurite centerpiece. Each end of the necklace is accented with a silver cone and bead for a wonderful finish. The cones are stamped sterling. 

Turquoise is the birthstone of December. It is believed that turquoise tends to bring good fortune, strength and helps overcome illness. Turquoise got its name from the Levantine traders called Turks who brought the stone to Europe from Persia via Turkey centuries ago. Native Americans have prized turquoise since the time of the Aztecs, who mined it in New Mexico. The natural variations that occur in turquoise are part of its appeal and beauty.

Onyx is known to be a calming stone. It collects negative energy from you.
