Stone Beads — Bronzite, Tiger Eye, Brown Stones, Earth Tones

Bronzite is an interesting metallicy bronzey colour with a distinctive fibrous pattern.

Tiger eye is a "chatoyant" stone - which means that it has inclusions of fibrous crystals which give it a silky lustre. The inclusions run parallel in a specific direction, so the stone appears to shimmer slightly as you move it around.

We try to choose consistent stock, but the nature of natural stones is that there will be inconsistency between strands and between individual beads.

Etched Stone Beads - 25 mm Olive - Tulippa (1)
Very interesting beads - each has a tulipish pattern permanently etched into the stone. (The beads are treated by encasing them in mud or ash, removing part for the pattern, and then being baked in a fire for days.) Distinctive. Very earthy - great for an ethnic look. 19mm x 25mm By the each.

Etched Stone Beads - Olive - Conglomerate (1)
Conglomerate stone - this particular stone puts me in mind of cork for it's patterns, but of course, the weight is no where like cork. Very interesting stone beads, colour varies, and some have some interesting texture. Matt finish. Very earthy. Sort of a beach stone feeling to them. 17mm x 50mm By the each.

Stone Beads - 13 x 18 mm Rectangle - Tourmaline (strand)
This is an earthy set of colours - greens, greys, some pinkish, purples, creams. Tourmaline has an interesting shimmer. This is not the bright pink and green gems - but, on the other hand - it's affordable. And it is a very interesting range of colours, if a bit dark. Another picture. 13mm x 18mm Approx. 10 beads on 8 inch strand. (strand)
