I attached a green LED light to a natural carved quartz crystal cicada pendant, wrapped the light with silver wire, and added a 24 inch silver filled chain.
The cicada is hand carved with natural inclusions.Twist top bail to activate. Can be worn with LED light off as well. A great design to wear for parties, raves, festivals, and other nighttime activities. Fun to wear and sure to attract attention. Because cicadas are one of the longest living insects, people believe that they symbolize immortality, longevity, and rebirth. In past times, a cicada carving was placed on the body of a deceased loved one to aid in their journey to the afterlife and beyond. Cicadas often emit a distinct call when bad storms are coming. Thus, many cultures believe that carrying a cicada offers protection from harm and can serve as a warning against approaching danger. Green is the color associated with the element of earth. It is the color of life and growth. The earth element symbolizes a solid foundation and roots deep within the soil, grounding and calming you. Earth represents fertility and stability. Quartz has been used since prehistoric times as an adornment and a ritual tool in Europe and the Middle East, and also ancient America. It was most often used for different types of jewelry and carvings, including engraved gems and rock crystal vessels.
