Mystic Mountains
About this design:
During several shamanic (visionary) journeys, I saw these beautiful mountains. When I saw the hank of Flourite it looked so much like the mountains. (Okay, and now you all know that I am nuts ... visionary journeys ... well, they've been an integral part of my life for decades.)
Components:
Rainbow Flourite, Sterling Silver Accents, and lots of Bali beadsAdditional Images:

Chippy Chick aka Lindys says:Gorgeous necklace Linda! As a child I used to think I could fly because of what I guess would be called out of body experiences. I never told anyone as an adult until I talked with my sister about it a couple years ago. I would get so frustrated as a kid when people wouldn’t respond to me when I was flying! I haven’t had that sensation as a grown up, quess I’m just too fat to get of the ground! LOL
