Bead of the Month



Each month we feature a new stone in several shapes and sizes at fantastic prices. Our new stone of the month for April is “Carnelian”. The “Carnelian” stone is found mostly in Brazil and Uruguay. This translucent chalcedony receives its beautiful red tints from iron oxides. Historically ancient Greeks and Romans particularly valued Carnelian and believed that it could calm bad tempers. Beautiful pieces of jewelry can be made using this stone, just use your imagination.
