"Inspired" by the Surfing Madonna Honorable Mention

"Inspired" by the Surfing Madonna
If you believe in the powerful healing properties of Natural Stones this one-of-a-kind piece has an abundance of positive, grounding energy that will both strengthen your resolve and bring balance and harmony to your home. Unlike paintings, I encourage you to hang this piece in the direct sun, by doing so this will allow the crystals to sparkle in the natural light, while reflecting the beauty of each stone. There is also good Karma attached to the selling of this piece. I will donate $1,000 to the Surfing Madonna Organization from the selling of this work of art, so please be moved to buy it.

I hope this work of art brings you as much joy as it brought me while making it. It was an absolute joy and pleasure to create. There are three necklaces in total. Separately each necklace is gorgeous and healing in its own right, but together they beautifully resemble the Surfing Madonna. I created these pieces in February 2022, during the CoronaVirus Pandemic. During a time of so much negativity and despair, this piece brought me an abundance of joy and inspiration. I literally smiled the entire time I was making it.

Necklace 1: Represents the Madonna.
Solar Quartz Druzy: 2 Half Quartz Pieces:

Similar to Clear Quartz, White Quartz holds and amplifies intention, while also diffusing an aura of tranquility, calm, and peace into one's energy field and space. A sweet stone for places of healing, White Quartz supports the clearing of energetic stagnation, and physical, emotional, and mental balance.

Orange Sugar Druzy: Druzy is believed to be associated with peace, tranquillity, patience, intuition, and unconditional love. They amplify the body's natural healing properties and strengthen the spirit. They also provide the balance necessary to avoid depression or unnatural feelings of fear or dread.
