Denim lapis beads provide a more economical, lighter blue variety of lapis lazuli beads. Like other lapis, denim lapis contains grains of several blue minerals, including lazurite and sodalite, plus a matrix that includes speckles of pyrite. The lighter color of denim lapis comes from a higher concentration of calcite inclusions in the gemstone. The light inclusions lower the value these semiprecious beads, but also make denim lapis a great accessory for casual, blue-jean outfits! As with lapis lazuli, denim lapis is believed to be a stone of spirituality, truth, and friendship. Lapis beads are relatively easily scratched and chipped, so make sure to clean them only with a soft, dry cloth.

Super Seven is an unusual form of quartz that is famous for having seven crystals in one. The seven are: Amethyst, Cacoxenite, Goethite, Lepidocrocite, Rutile, Smoky Quartz, and Clear Quartz (Rock Crystal). Also known as the Melody Stone or Sacred Stone, the major (and possibly only) source for this stone is Espírito Santo, Brazil. Our strands are a lovely mixture of amethyst, clear quartz, and pale smoky quartz, with inclusions of reddish rutile needles, orangish tufts of cacoxenite, deep red lepidochrosite, and shimmering goethite. Many of these inclusions display lovely shimmers and aventurescence.  See Related Products links (below) for similar items and additional jewelry-making supplies that are often used with this item.

Eagle Eye (Jasper?): It's difficult to find reliable information on Eagle Eye. We were told it's jasper, but it has hints of translucence that don't normally occur in jaspers. Is it feldspar (like moonstone and labradorite)? Is it a gray form of tigereye? Is it magical Toads Eye (aka toadstone)? Is it Hawk's Eye (the name for an earlier form of tigereye)? Whatever it is, our current batch of Eagle Eye beads are striped like tigereye or tiger iron, and these stripes of light and dark gray have a chatoyant shimmer, but don't have the full cat's-eye effect. Many of the stripes are parallel, and some are swirled. It almost certainly is a variety of quartz. If it is simply gray tigereye, then the stripes are oriented fibers of crocidolite (a mineral of the amphibole group) that have been replaced by silica. But it's lacking the iron that commonly gives tigereye its rich warm hues. Please see the Related Products links below for similar items, and more information about this stone.

Amethyst is the most highly prized variety of quartz and if not for its widespread availability, would be very expensive. With its luscious purple color, it is the official birthstone for February and one of our best-selling gemstones. The stone's name is derived from the Greek word amethystos, meaning "not drunken," because people of ancient times believed it to protect the wearer from drunkenness. Some amethysts will lose their color in sunlight, so when they aren't being worn, store them away from direct exposure to help maintain their rich purple.Amethyst and other rich shades of violet are popular for the crown chakra. Amethyst is said to instill high ideals and urge one to do what is right. These semiprecious beads are also said to cure impatience, balance high energy, eliminate chaos, and help keep one grounded.
