New Items
New Marbles--With PICTURES This
Time
I am reminding my customers of our newest marbles--which you may have been
hesitant to buy when they were first mentioned a few weeks ago because there
were no pictures--and have added a new type of marble as well. You can see
them all
HERE, or
check out the individual new items below.
Moonstone Mini Marbles
Really tiny, like 6mm spheres. Just a quarter each. Shimmering,
glowing, cute!
Leopardskin Jasper
I am not a huge Leopardskin fan, but even I have to admit these are
SPECTACULAR. The patterns are unbelievable. If you like Ocean
Jasper, you will love these.
Yellow Jade
A bright, cheerful yellow. A definite candidate for
collections.
Rainbow Quartz
This is basic Clear Quartz with inclusions that refract the light and show
a rainbow of colors within the sphere. Each one is different, and our
picture doesn't capture it very well, but this is the type of marble you'll end
up turning in your hand for hours at a time, looking at all the patterns.
Yttrium Fluorite
This is a very light opaque lavender Fluorite. A soft pastel for you
pastelly types.
Coming soon
New Beads:
Golden Oyster Stick, Hessonite Heishi, Aquamarine Round, Rhodonite Round,
Fluorite Twist, Turquoise Cube, Red Aventurine Cube, Multicolor Aquamarine
Rondell, more Faceted Beads
Ocarinas (clay flutes)
Spring Bracelets
Herkimer Diamonds
Many new Stone Pendants
(Including many more Animal shapes, Discs, Scarabs, Leaves, Zuni Buffaloes,
and old favorite shapes in new stones)
Stone Fun Facts
Rose Quartz (Revisited)
** Please see general information on Quartz HERE.
** Rose
Quartz is unusual in several different ways. Its natural pink color is rather
rare among minerals, and is caused by impurities of iron, titanium, and
colloidal gold. It is also odd in that it is the only type of Quartz that is not
commonly found in crystal form. Rose Quartz usually comes in massive formations
that are translucent to opaque; transparent crystals are very rare.
** The
pink color of Rose Quart is photosensitive and can fade in sunlight.
** Being
pink, Rose Quartz has historically been a symbol of love & beauty. It is
also known as the Love Stone or the Heart Stone, and is said to enhance the
wearer's sensitivity to beauty, art, and music. It enhances the capacity to
love, and is a very good stone to give at the beginning of a relationship.
**
Crystal healers use Rose Quartz in all applications of the heart. It is also
used to calm and balance emotions, increase self-esteem and self-confidence,
reduce depression, assist in weight loss, clear the complexion and protect
against wrinkles. Its calming, soothing nature makes it a good stone to put near
a fussy baby's sleeping area.
** Rose Quartz can be used for a birthstone for
January, and it is the gemstone for the 2nd wedding anniversary, believed to
strengthen the love of young married couples.
