The alexandrite (swarovski crystal represents the expensive gem here) stands for consideration. Arguing logic is often the distraction and not the solution. 

"The issue is solving the problem, not being right."

Click on the link for more views: The amethyst represents self-care from chapter 10 of Battle Your PIrates--And Win! in the Gem of Wisdom series. You can wear it on the Gem of Wisdom necklaces or easily remove it and place it on a chain.

"This amethyst represents self-care and this gem of wisdom belongs to me. I will practice tired, heartsick, and/or my world feels out of control. I will stop denying myself private time. I will practice cocooning by coming in out of the harsh, constant heat."

There are 17 total pendants, though each necklace comes with the large treasure chest pendant. The pendants can be purchased individually.

The aquamarine represents the quality of mercy. Mercy from unrealistic expectations when we wish for what we think should have been, but isn't.

"I will practice relaxing wishes for the past, for what should have been, and watch myself for unrealistic expectations of perfection."

From chapter 6 of Battle Your PIrates--And Win! As a Gems of Wisdom piece, the bloodstone pendant has a double twist and the tiny treasure chest attached. It stands for battling the pirates of martyrdom, anger and unforgiveness.

"This bloodstone represents release and forgiveness as I release internal pain and grudges. This gem of wisdom belongs to me.I am not alone and splattered on the green rock. Someone larger is in control. I will practice releasing the dead ash inside and letting God hear my groaning."

Chapter 5 of Battle Your Pirates--And Win! tells us that the garnet is mined for sandblasting! While wearing this stunning garnet and sterling silver pendant, concentrate on sandblasting out those destructive, repetitive scripts in your head. Those pirates with nasty accusations.

"This garnet and its red abrasive dust represents reframing destructive scripts in my head. I will practice sand blasting them out and creating a positive perspective. I will no longer allow my private thoughts to cause destruction."

The iolite is the first known sun filter. It was used by the vikings to navigate out on the ocean in broad daylight. From Chapter 16, Battle Your Pirates--And Win! The iolite helps us remember our fearful misconceptions act as a filter too.

In the online course, Battle Your Pirates-And Win! we use the iolite to remember to filter what we know and filter out our fears.

This iolite represents my new filter. "I will practice recognizing old filters of my preconceived notions and replace them with a beautiful, new filter of an educated opinion to take a direct look at what scares me."

Jade represents courtesy and calm. We can concentrate on battling the pirate of impatience with self-control and a professional demeanor.

"Jade represents a calm strength and the value of courtesy to all. I will practice patience, serenity, and professional behavior so I will not create added tension."

These mini treasure chest earrings are sterling silver and match every piece of jewelry in the Gem of Wisdom collection. Small and modest, they'll help you remember you have a full treasure chest overflowing with gems of wisdom.

Click on the link for more: The moonstone represents acceptance from Chapter 2 of Battle Your Pirates--And Win! The pirates of magical thinking and denial try to get us to avoid accepting reality and to live in denial. Once we accept how things are, we begin to move into the possibilities of how things can be.

"The night is not too dark. Shadows of magical thinking do not rule my adult world...I will practice adult coping skills so I no longer fear loss and so that I am not lost along the way."

The Mother of Pearl represents freedom from parasitical patterns and repetition from chapter 11 of Battle Your Pirates--And Win! Book 1 of the Gem of Wisdom series. When you want to concentrate on changing bad habits, this is your memory anchor.

Claim your gem of wisdom: "I will practice looking for another point of view, other reaction options, including humor as a positive possibility. I can douse procrastination larvae immediately and avoid infectious confusion."

The opal signifies the opalescence of appropriate ownership. We own our issues, but not those of someone else. Empathy is the ability to understand someone's issues or feelings. Ownership is possessing. Concentrate on being empathetic without possessing the problems of others.

"The opal signifies empathy without ownership. It's a reminder that what is shattered can be recreated as beautiful. I will practice understanding with boundaries."

Gorgeous NEW Orange Zircon Pendant. Add it to the basic necklace or wear it on a silver chain.

The orange zircon stands for being proactive instead of reactive by getting educated.

The snowflake obsidian represents internal courage. It's the focus of Battle Your PIrates--And Win! chapter 4 and the P.E.A.R.S. plan of action. It comes with a tiny treasure chest attached. The pendant clasp allows it to be worn on any of the necklaces simply by opening the clasp and changing the placement.

"This obsidian represents courage and it bursts forth from deep within me. I will use the sharp edges of my fear to sculpt this unique gemstone of wisdom. I will practice preparing, expecting, assessing, and getting referrals to sketch out a polished plan."

This teardrop shaped pendant can be worn on the Gem of Wisdom necklaces or the plain silver chains. 

The Spinel is a very misunderstood and mistaken stone. It comes in colors other than the red that led people to believe it was a ruby for centuries. When the spinels was revealed to be more rare and valuable than rubies, it was no longer called "the imposter." We mistake the pirates of worry and perfectionism for positive traits too. The spinel helps us realize that confidently acting will reveal our confident nature.

"I will practice confidence that I have been placed in this position for a purpose, and act with determination, even if I have to act like an imposter at first, soon I will be genuinely confident."

The pirate of shame battles for control of your gifts, talents, and dreams. The sunstone represents all the things that go wrong, embarrass me, and stop my shimmer power.

"I will remember that sometimes what appears dull will shimmer in the light. I will practice looking for ways things worked out for the good and how they are better for what I've learned.

Click for more: The tanzanite represents letting go of our fairness meter as explored in Chapter 1 of Battle Your Pirates--And Win! The pirate of injustice attacks our sense of fair play.

"Every situation has different angles and opportunities. Today I am releasing my fairness meter. It doesn't work right anyway."

This pendant is in development. Please check back.

Based on teambuilding, we battle the pirates of power and control. 

"I will practice delegating, by allowing others to help me, and let go of unnecessary power."
