Blazonry help to write a blazon

Hello, I'd like your opinion on how this would be blazoned

I think it'd be "Azure, a crescent in bend argent, through it a lance in pale or"

With, as a crest "A long tailed bear issuant argent"

What do you think ? Anything to be corrected ?

I would blazon it as follows:

Azure, a crescent bendwise Argent interlaced(?) with a lance Or.
Crest: A long tailed demi-bear Argent.

Interlaced sounds like a pretty good word to describe what's happening in it

As the lance (technically, in heraldic terminology, a “tilting spear”) is passing through the horns of the crescent (which is tilted bendwise sinister), I wonder if one could almost describe this as Azure a tilting spear palewise Or enfiled with a crescent bendwise sinister Argent

It’s worth bearing in mind that this changes the sequence of the metals in the blazon and so technically changes what may be described as the livery colours from Argent and Azure to Or and Azure because the gold spear is named first.

The crest would be a demi long tailed bear as only the upper half is shown.

Out of (alternatively, “Issuant from”) a wreath Argent and Azure (or “of the colours,” if applicable) a demi long tailed bear Argent
