This piece is hand made and one of a kind by Laura McCann in Austin, TX.
This is a Mala prayer bead necklace or bracelet that can be wrapped 4 times, with the auspicious number of 108, 7mm AAA quality moonstones with a 15.5 inch drop or a 31 inch circumference in total. There is an antique silver horseshoe charm that is 1" x 1" and an antique silver heart charm with a horseshoe on it that measures 1/2" x 1/2".
One of the reasons horseshoes became a symbol of luck is because the 8th century Chaldeans thought its crescent shape represented various moon goddesses thus protecting against the curse of the evil eye.
Moonstone is strongly linked to the divine feminine, nurturing energy, and goddess connection, helping to rebalance a person's inner feminine side.
It promotes emotional stability, inner wisdom, self-understanding, and fosters feelings of empathy and tolerance. The stone is known to enhance intuition, strengthens psychic senses, and helps to connect one with their inner knowing. Associated with the soothing properties of the moon, moonstone instills calmness, peace, and composure.
