Telluride Merman Bracelet 🍄

San Juan Mountain Towns

A DarcMoon piece inspired by Mermaids and the Cursed Valley

Beneath the jagged, snow-kissed peaks of Telluride, the Telluride Merman moves through hidden forest streams and mountain meadows. This bracelet celebrates transformation, curiosity, and the enduring magic of the high San Juans. Inspired by the mermaids of Telluride, guardians of hidden springs and seasonal cycles, it carries the spirit of mountain forests, flowing water, and the playful energy of discovery—echoing the joy of the region’s famed mushroom festival and the wonder of nature’s small miracles.

San Juan Mountains Meditation: “I allow what is old to become new, and I honor the beauty born from contrast, challenge, and change.”

More About the Gemstones:

Each stone in the Telluride Merman Bracelet is chosen to reflect grounding, transformation, and the magic of discovery in the San Juan Mountains:

• White Howlite — Opens awareness and softens the heart. Prepares the wearer to receive wisdom from the Higher Self, supports meditation, and helps release attachments that no longer serve you. Brings clarity, peace, and emotional processing.

• Golden Tiger’s Eye — Encourages courage, strength, and confidence in navigating challenges. Reminds you to trust in yourself and the Divine, fostering resilience and the ability to overcome obstacles.

• African Turquoise — A stone of evolution and transformation, guiding the wearer toward renewal, growth, and new possibilities. Awakens the spirit, encourages metamorphosis, and aligns with the Third Eye Chakra for insight and higher wisdom.

• Mushroom Pendant — Symbolizes curiosity, connection with the natural world, and the magic of seasonal cycles celebrated at Telluride’s mushroom festival. A reminder that small wonders often carry the deepest lessons.

Together, these stones and symbols honor the Telluride landscape, its forests and meadows, and the playful, transformative energy of the mermaids who guide the wearer through cycles of growth and renewal.
