Strand of faceted oval beads 5 × 4 mm — blue apatite

The blue of the apatite here takes on a more elongated oval shape that slows the gaze. The facets play with the light on each bead and give the thread a steady, almost undulating rhythm. Material: blue apatite Shape: faceted oval Dimensions: about 5 × 4 mm Hole: 0.8 mm Quantity: strand of about 39 cm, approximately 78 beads Origin: Brazil Originating from Brazilian deposits, this apatite displays a blue-green characteristic of the mineral. A soft stone, it is worked with care. Lithotherapy sees it as an ally for mental clarity and communication. Pairing suggestions — the oval shape lends itself to alternating with smaller round beads.
