Pinolith - A very rare semi-precious stone. It comes from only one place in the world, a magnesite deposit located in Lower Tauern, a mountain range of the Central Eastern Alps in Austria, where pinolith was discovered in 1873.

Morado Opal - Discovered in central Mexico.  It is found in swirls of purple and white.  Like all opals they are delicate in need to be stored with care.

Ruby in Fuchsite - Bright red spectacular hexagonal corundum crystals, AKA ruby in green fuchsite make a striking combo.  Found in India, Brazil and Russia.

Printstone = Printstone is found on a hillside near Tom Price in the Pilbara Australia.  The graphic patterns make this stone interesting and unique.  It is a soft stone a takes a satin mat finish.

You might find yourself closing your eyes and holding this stone that you're wearing.  Sorry the pictures don't fully show-off the three dimensional, tactile joy of a hand-cut bead.
