Aquamarine

Another crystal healer painting.  The throat is said to be the main chakra for the aquamarine stone.  Aquamarine is expressive, cleansing and companionable.  It is blue, blue/green.  It is part of the Beryl family of gemstones.

She was very calming to paint.

I'm on track for completing 8 paintings by the end of the month as long as I stay focused.  I am sorry if I haven't been commenting on blogs as much as usual.  I am finding it hard to read blogs where there is a lot of information to absorb.  It is difficult for me to concentrate. 

I know these paintings aren't everyone's cup of tea but I enjoy doing them.  After this set of crystal healer paintings I will move on and pick another theme.  I may stick to this style of painting or try something else!

Soothing Aquamarine

Strange as it may seem, I like to have a connection to the things that I make and do.  Aquamarine is my birthstone.  The stone for March.  I do feel an affinity with the gemstone and am soothed just by soaking up the delicate milky hue of the stone.

The aquamarine teardrops or pears (I see them as teardrops)  are interspersed with silver tone seed beads, tiny moonstone rounds and crystal bi cones.

Do you know what your birthstone is and do you like it?
