Star Gazing Oracle - Full Moon Edition
July 3, 2023, Supermoon
The July moon is most commonly known as the "Stag Moon" which honors the velvet covered antlers that the bucks are currently in full swing of growing.
But did you know moons do not just have one name? The names we know the moon for come from our ancestors, mainly various Native American tribes and often more colloquial understandings of our natural world's phases and the cycles of the land. To some tribes, the July moon was known as the "Berry Moon" as when the berries are all ripening (Anishinaabe), the "Thunder Moon" for when the skies storm (Western Abenaki), and in many places the "Hay Moon" for when the first hay harvest should be done.
This particular "Star Gazing Oracle" honors The Berry Moon. Handmade out of sterling and fine silver, this piece offers a rising ornate moon cradling a special stone. This smaller moon is a bi-color sapphire, covered in facets which remind me of the bumps and lumps of a ripening berry. It remains mostly dark, except when brightly illuminated especially from the back. See the above pictures for an image of it backlit! Which is then lights up in the colors of the blackberries.
This particular pendant measures approximately 1" x 1" not including bail and weighs approximately .40 ounces in total. It comes with chain! Included at no charge, the chain you see above which is a darkened, sterling silver rolo chain measuring 18" long with lobster clasp.
Please note! There is some natural textures to the face of this stone, and is it discounted as such. Yay!
As always, stones are ethically sourced and artisan cut.
Each item is individual and handmade meaning no production lines are found at Dark Fawn. In this inherent nature, each piece will feature "imperfections" as the evidence of the individual eye and human touch each piece receives; making them all the more unique, ever more valuable and filled with energy! I also offer a lifetime guarantee on the blackened patina. If in the future, the patina wears off (as is the nature of it, giving it a more aged look as time goes on), simply send the ring back to me and I will re-blacken it for free. Did I leave anything out? Please check out my FAQ!
