According to Black Elk, ‘The most important of all the creatures are the wingeds, for they are the nearest to the heavens.’ With wings we can look at things from both the perspective of earth and heaven at the same time. Intuition and inspiration seem to arrive unexpectedly on wings out of thin air as the first sign of any creative act. All kinds of winged beings connect us with the world beyond: the white dove of the Holy Spirit and Aphrodite, the black crow and raven, the angel, equally half-bird half-human, daimon and duende, as the voices of destiny, Mercury, the winged spirit of alchemy, the ancient shamans who flew to other worlds on their magical wings and imagination itself is winged. They return, each with their unique message.  

Ever look deep into a stone and ask it for a message or story? This 7mm Sonoran Rose Turquoise definitely wanted to be showcased in this pendant as it represents the “fallen piece of the sky”. Throughout the ages it was thought to be a protective talisman.. The mineral composition of the stone is undeniably beautiful with rich color tones to depict the sky and green earth both.
