Dear bloggers,
Hi! I hope you are all fine, summer is coming, surely you are preparing for vacations, I hope that you will enjoy your summer, as I hope I will!
I will talk today about a marvelous gem stone, it look like a real gold, it fascinated me with it's colour and texture, when I first got it I could not believe it is not a metal, it beads shine like metals and feels like one to!
I found these information about this stone:
Pyrite necklace the Fool's Gold, it is a stone but looks like real gold!
Pyrite general Gemstone Details:
It is sometimes a bit sad that this beautiful and fascination mineral has a nickname like "Fool's Gold". As it does resemble gold in it's
physical appearance, that is where the similarities end. Pyrite can not be bent or shaped like gold, it is much too brittle. Striking it with steel can even cause the sulfur in it to spark!
Pyrite is actually disulfide of iron, and the metallic crystal grows in cubes, nodules, masses of tiny crystals, and can even be found as flat discs.
Some have been known to confuse pyrite with marcasite, but as marcasite is also an iron sulfide, but crystallized in a completely different manner, so marcasite it unstable and often crumbles during attempts to carve it.
Pyrite is quite easy to find, it is minded all over the US, in Arizona, Colorado, New York, Missouri, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Tennessee to name a few. Specimens are also found in Spain, South Africa, Russia, Portugal, Germany and Peru, as well as hundreds of other locations around the world.

Healing Properties:
Pyrite is said to balance hormonal rhythms, and to ease the discomfort of menstruation. It is also useful in clearing up confusion of one's physical symptoms so as to generate a more accurate diagnosis. Pyrite "suns" draw pain from the body, as well as assist in easing depression symptoms. It is also said to help in reducing swelling or reducing fevers when used directly on the physical body.
I used the beads that I got to make this necklace.
I added to it a gold plated metal, sawed with an Arabic patterns. I like this set it's chic and elegant, it will look lovely on any simple dress.
I added the necklace to this model with Photoshop, do not laugh at it, I still new to Photoshop! Have a nice night, wish you all happy dreams, I wish you the ones that becomes true.
