I added a sterling silver wire bail to a vintage natural Kingman turquoise carved lion pendant. This comes with a 24 inch silver filled chain.

As a spirit animal, a lion can symbolize strength and courage. It represents power and control, as well as strong leadership. It can often be a difficult totem to have as it requires great stability and assertiveness. But if a person has those qualities, the lion can bring much success and satisfaction in life.

Turquoise has been used since ancient times as a talisman and a protection amulet. In many cultures it symbolized wealth and prosperity. Turquoise can bring peace and good fortune to your household. A gift of turquoise to a friend can protect them from negative energy and harmful intentions. As one of the oldest known gemstones, it carries timeless wisdom and age-old truths.

Turquoise protects against accidents and is considered a traveler’s stone. It is good for increased awareness and verbal skills. Some say it brings good fortune and renewed health. It symbolizes honesty and self worth. Turquoise works well for a vision quest.
