The post announces the fourth entry for surviving November 2025, featuring a close-up of a beaded necklace with white stones. I didn’t know this about these beads before I looked it up, I hope it would be this easy 😀
Magnesite can appear externally very similar to howlite, and many consider them to be the same stone. However, magnesite is slightly harder on the Mohs scale. Both magnesite and howlite also share a lot energetically, as they vibrate with a very calming energy. However, the calming effects are somewhat different: while howlite alleviates stress and anxiety on a more physical level and helps with relaxation, magnesite’s calming effect aids in reaching a deeper mental balance and, through that, accessing the deepest emotions and desires. In this way, magnesite encourages its bearer to make important changes in their life that are necessary to achieve the desires and goals that stem from the heart.
I accidently posted over my yesterday’s post so those comments appear here too- A big oops.


November begins, and we’ll keep this year rolling forward. The theme is ’round’, and you can interpret it any way you like. It can be a photograph, a painting, a drawing, a new or old picture, anything. Hopefully, it has ‘that certain something’.

That does look so close to Howlite, I have a bracelet with those stones. Very nice shot! I am curious about these “surviving November” theme as well – my brother died last November and honestly finding these photo challenges earlier this year has been a savings grace for me!
Thank you! Yes they keep you motivated, I see you saw the link to it… please join it is fun
This theme, is exactly what I need this month! I am grateful I came across it.
Onpa kauniit helmet.
kiitos 😀
What a great composition and the background blur (or bokeh as they say) is just right for the subject.
I could happily hang that print on my wall (if I had any wall space that is).
Thanks is a high praise, ♥
Upea kuva helmistä! Tykkään! Ihana tämä marraskuu kun pääsee näkemään luovaa kauneutta!
Kiitän, helmet on hyvä pyöreä kuvata.
Beautiful stones! Love the depth of the image, so creamy in the background!
