PLEASE TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT WHAT INSPIRED THIS WORK: One Christmas, my dear friend, former professor and mentor got me a silver necklace. On one of the charms is a bit of smoky quartz, intended to calm and help manifest dreams. I wear it because it's a lovely necklace, but I've recently started to will it to perform as a talisman in her fight against cancer, hoping that the universe will listen.
