Gemstones are beautiful and some are said to be medicinal, in the sense that if you wear them close to the skin, they can effect change in the body. I have one long strand of beads that I like to wear around the wrist or neck. As 2020 started, I needed to restring the beads. I wanted to group them by stone and have more patterns than the previous iteration, but still be a jumble of color and texture. I should have taken more photos before so I could compare them.
The beads I have are:
- Moonstone – clear/white
- Prasiolite – light green
- Turquoise – Blue
- Onyx – Black
- Jasper – Red
- Tiger eye – Brown
- Abalone Shell – Blue Green
- Citrine – Orange
- Fluorite – Green
- Amethyst – purple
- Leopard Skin Jasper – brown
- Assorted glass, metallic, and plastic accents
