I was somewhat surprised to see this caption added. After reading her autobiography, I couldn't really imagine her wearing something 'for protection.' A quick google indicates that she hasn't made a statement to this effect. She identifies as a Christian and clearly finds a lot of strength within her religion (again, as surmised from her autobiography). A nod to her ancestry, likely in consideration to their views on the shells? Sure, that tracks. But, protection? That sounds like other folks are assigning a meaning to it based on their personal views. Big 'girl wears [gemstone] ring on [left or right] hand' reel energy.

I hope she’s got some sage tucked under that robe as well.

She needs a much bigger necklace.
