24kt Gold Vermeil Lotus Necklace with Blue Chalcedony Briolette on Gold Filled Cable Chain, #6440 (18 Inches)

The lotus flower symbolizes new beginnings, purity and enlightenment. Buddhists liken the unfolding of the lotus petals to the unfolding of the divine within the human self. The closed bloom represents the heart with its infinite potential for enlightenment; the open blossom represents the enlightened self. In Buddhism the lotus blossom represents a heart opening. The lotus flower blooms on the surface of water, with its roots deep below in mud - making it a symbol of light and beauty emerging from darkness. Chalcedony is the Stone of Acceptance. It is a nurturing stone of calmness which symbolizes brotherhood and goodwill. Chalcedony increases physical energy and absorbs negative energy, dissipating it to prevent onward transmission. It balances the body, emotions, mind and spirit. Chalcedony will also balance yin/yang, stress and irritability. The Native American Indians consider Chalcedony a sacred stone. It is used daily to promote stability during ceremonial activities and meditation. Astrological associations: Cancer and Sagittarius. Chakras: varies with the variety of color.
