The Freeze Up Moon (October 24 to November 21) is a position on the Native American Medicine Wheel. This Native American gemstone bracelet represents represents the elements of the Freeze Up Moon.

The mineral totems for those born between October 24 and November 21 are malachite and copper, the plant is the thistle, and the animal is the snake. The Frog clan is the direct elemental influence and the color is orange.

This bracelet was designed to represent these all of these elements. The snaking nature of the wrap bracelet represents the animal. Natural Malachite chips are the predominate stones used and copper seed beads represent this element. The purple blossoms of the thistle are represented by purple seed beads. The color orange is added as accent seed beads.

People born in this moon are influenced by the frog clan. A frog charm has been added . The feathers direct the energies of all of the totem elements to maximize their influence.

More about these totems:
Snake.......teaches adaptability and fearless travel
Thistle.. demonstrates healing abilities and versatility
Copper......fosters strength, power, balance and understanding energy
Malachite...increases receptivity to all subtle energy, cultivates psychic powers
Frog........teaches us to honor our tears as they cleanse the soul. They cleanse and refresh.

The bracelet will easily fit most wrist sizes.

While it was made for people born in the Freeze Up Moon, one does not have to be born of that moon to admire its beauty and symbolism. If these totems represent areas where you would like to grow, perhaps the bracelet could help no matter what time of year you were born.
