This was my Granny Bea's Pendant. She was a 1/2 Chickasaw and Choctaw Native Oklahoma Indian. She loved jewelry and had a large, fine and unique jewelry collection.She traveled the United States competing in square dance competitions and collected all sorts of jewelry on every trip. She had a beautiful soul. She obtained her Masters Degree and taught 1st grade for over 40 years.
She believed that many gem stones held meaning and power, which she learned from her Choctaw and Chickasaw peoples. She said that coral is a symbol of water and earth because it comes from the ocean. It's a connection to the water spirits and Mother Earth. Coral was a treasured material in Native American jewelry and was worn by chiefs, and medicine men as a sign of high status and protection against evil. In Native American traditions, particularly in Southwestern and Navajo beliefs, "WHITE METAL" Native name forsilver, represents purity, clarity, and a profound spiritual connection to nature and the next world. Lapis is known asis known as the stone of truth wisdom and inner vision. Turquoise is one of the four sacred stones tied to the Four Sacred Mountains, representing the southern boundary and invoking protection and harmony.
