Happy Buddha Lavender Quartz Pearl Opal Amethyst

The beginnings pearls occur when an oyster, mussel, or clam attempts to soothe the part of its body when a granule enters its shell. It does this by creating a unique coating layer over the irritated area, known as a nacre. The sea animal will add layer after layer of nacre until a beautiful, glistening pearl is formed. Best known for their whimsical shapes and wide variety of sizes and colors, the character of a freshwater pearl is found in its distinctive surface texture and the warmth of its luster. Though freshwater pearls are commonly found, the lustrous quality of them are very difficult to find. We go straight to the source to find the most lustrous strands of freshwater pearls for this necklace.

Our lavender quartz is rare and special. There is only one mine that has been found to have this beautiful rare mineral. When these minerals were first found it was covered in dark brown dirt mineral after being left in the sun for a few months the external mineral shed and revealed a milky translucent lavender purple. There is a unique energy that drew me to this stone and I feel incredibly honored to be working with it.

Opallios is the Greek word for Opals meaning To see a change of color. This precious stone is formed from rain, when water from rain seeps down into crevasses in the rock. Once the water evaporates, the silica that is left behind dries out and hardens into precious opal. ​It is one of few gemstones that have been found on the planet Mars.
