A 31mm Red Aventurine buffalo hangs from a double spiral seed bead chain in this one of a kind necklace. The bead colors of light topaz and topaz accent the play of color in the focal stone, while the off white core beads of the spiral, compliment the colors. Red Aventurine chips, randomly woven into the spiral, add texture and visual interest.

This necklace is approx. 15 inches (38cm.) long, but will lengthen to 16 inches (40cm.) long by using the second loop in the peyote toggle and loop closure. Each end of the peyote toggle has a red aventurine chip on it.

The co-ordinating earrings included with this necklace are done in a spiral weave and have 2 red aventurine chips on the bottom. They are approx. 2 inches (5 cm.) long and are on hypo-allergenic surgical steel ear wires.

Red Aventurine is believed to enhance creativty, imagination, indepenence, calmness and balance. It is also said to help us see alternatives and potentials.

Buffalo were important in the lives of Native Americans. It was a living, breathing sacrement. They provided food, clothing, shelter, tools and all the essentials for living. The buffalo was also an important part of their spiritual lives and the hunt itself was a ceremony.

This is the first of my Buffalo series.
