Poseidon's Joy
Handmade Pendant / Slide for Necklaces

Poseidon's Joy is an elegant pendant / slide that I handcrafted from a Larimar cabochon, and .925 Sterling Silver. The pendant gets its name from the fact that larimar is found near the ocean, and according to Ancient Greek myth, Poseidon is god of the seas.

This pendant is approximately 2.5" (65.5 mm) long including bail which will accommodate chains up to approximately 6 mm in size. To wear it as a necklace or brooch, you can use it with your favorite chain or add an inexpensive accessory to make it a very versatile piece of jewelry.

In alignment with the mystical lore associated with the stone, I crafted this piece with the prayer and intent that the wearer be blessed with freedom from self-imposed limitations.

Metaphysical, Mystical, & Spiritual Healing Properties Lore:

Larimar, blue pectolite, found only in the Dominican Republic, is a stone of "answers from the sea of consciousness." The blue color of the larimar reflects the "sea" of all consciousness, which gives freedom from self-imposed limitations and a sense of peace in finding truth. Larimar has excellent energy for working with sea creatures of all kinds. It is particularly good for communication with dolphins. It has some ability to enhance communication in general, with other animals, as well as people. It can be used for dimensional and cellular work, and stimulates the heart and higher chakras. Being open to answers from the sea of consciousness gives a sense of serenity, love and peace. Larimar is good for calming excess energies and it balances energies.It is also used in crystal healing and folklore for healing maladies of the throat and upper respiratory system, schizophrenia. In addition, it can help one maintain one's personal energy and independence in a calm, collected fashion. Larimar is associated with the throat chakra and the Water element.

Silver is a mineral that is said to mirror the soul, strengthen the connection between astral and physical bodies, and enhance intuitive and psychic energies. Silver is mystically considered to improve speech, bring eloquence. It is also purported to attract, enhance and store the energies of gemstones, as well as draw out negative energies. Silver is related to the moon, and moon energies. Physically, crystal healing lore indicates that silver is has been traditionally used to aid heptatitis treatments, eliminate toxins, expel toxins through the pores, headache, rheumatic pain, nausea and gastritis, obesity, diabetes, and increase assimilation of vitamins A and E.
