Absolutely stunning extra long at 44" inches Gemstone Necklace, created using 100% Natural and Genuine Selenite, Lapis lazuli, Turquoise, Blue Apatite and Impression Jasper (see disclaimer below). Only Top Quality Crystals were used in the creation of this magnificent Necklace. Since this necklace design is quite long, it can be wore in many different ways.
I actually created this necklace for myself and was not going to list it for sale, until a customer saw me wearing it and asked how to buy it, so I listed it for sale. My favorite color is purple and I love Impression Jasper (colors/patters) so I made it for myself out of pure pleasure. The only reason why I was not going to list it is because I pride myself is selling ONLY 100% Natural and Genuine Gemstone Jewelry and this necklace have Blue/Purple Impression Jasper which is a real mineral but not 100% a natural stone since the color has been dyed and a different combination of minerals is used to create this stone. I believe in FULL DISCLOSURE when it comes to know what you are buying from me, and If you are ok with this, then I think you are going to love it as much as I do.
But it is important for me to make sure that you know Impression Jasper is a man made stone, made from different minerals and color dyed.

DISCLAIMER: I believe in a moral obligation for any seller to provide full information of the crystals and stones a customer is buying, if they have been treated or not. This is the reason why when you buy Turquoise (or any other Stone and crystal) from me, you will always have a full disclosure of any treatment or pertaining information that you need to know) The Turquoise Heishi beads used to make this necklace are Stabilized Turquoise. The Impression Jasper is a man-made Stone (made using real minerals) that has been color dyed.
ABOUT TURQUOISE TYPES AND TREATMENTS:
There are five “kinds” of turquoise as described by law:
Natural turquoise - turquoise that is so hard and beautiful that it is simply mined, cut, polished and set into a piece of jewelry or carved into a fetish or sculpture. Less than 3% of all the turquoise on the market worldwide is natural.
Stabilized turquoise - soft Turquoise or "chalk" turquoise that has been infused with a clear epoxy resin. The resin, under pressure, absorbs into the rock, which permanently hardens the rock and deepens the color. (Kind of like the way a sponge turns a deeper color when you get it wet.) Unlike the collectible natural turquoise which deepens in color over time by gradually absorbing oils from the skin as it is worn, the colors in stabilized turquoise are permanent. Most of the turquoise on the market is stabilized and should not cost as much as natural. Stabilized turquoise can be very beautiful, and is a good buy. (More than 97% of the turquoise on the market is stabilized.)
Treated turquoise - soft or "chalk" turquoise that is stabilized as described above, except that the epoxy resin is also dyed. Colors in treated turquoise have a tendency to look artificial. Prices should be much less than natural or stabilized.
Reconstituted turquoise - turquoise "chalk" that is very low grade and has been ground into powder, saturated with epoxy resin, dyed, and compressed into blocks or cakes to be cut into shapes for jewelry making. Prices should be most inexpensive.
Imitation turquoise - there is no turquoise in this category. Either there are stones like Howlite (white stone, very porous) dyed to look like turquoise or there is pure plastic (epoxy resin) that has been dyed to look like turquoise. It is a shame that these materials are set in silver and priced as if they had intrinsic value.
Unfortunately, treated, reconstituted and imitation turquoise can be made to look remarkably like collectible stones. Purchasing from a trusted source is important when it comes to Turquoise and jewelry made with it.
