50 Stone Chip Beads
For the jewelry-maker or beading enthusiast, here are 50 beads made of Green Cinnabar chips. Chips are the small leftovers from tumbled stones or shells, with holes drilled through them.
Mix them with other stone beads and metallic spacers for endless possibilities.
[Please allow for natural variations in the stones.]
Green Cinnabar isn't really Cinnabar. For one thing, Cinnabar is dark red, and for another thing, even Cinnabar beads are not real Cinnabar. Real Cinnabar is toxic and will kill you if you try to wear it in a necklace. Fake Cinnabar is made from red resin; Green Cinnabar is made from green resin. Got all that?
