As I was making it I was enveloped in a mysterious, melancholic atmosphere. Labradorite is an extraordinary stone full of reflections; solid and translucent; light, shimmering, and dark. Sometimes it is called the 'dark moon'.
It promotes deep vision and heals the eyes.
Some of you might know the story of Merlin and Nimune. Nimune, Lady of the lake, or Viviane was a powerful woman.
A student of Merlin’s, who fell in love with her, she used a charm that Merlin had taught her to enchant him: he remained captive in a prison without chains or walls , in the depths of the woods. During his captivity, which lasted for years, he lost his magic powers.
There was no wickedness on her part or foolishness on his, that is the nature of love.
Make of this story and this necklace what you will. That is the function of Art, to unleash imagination and thought.
