 A CRYSTAL SEA III
ANTIQUE HAND CUT CRYSTAL/RARE MARCASITE BEADS
 An exquisite rosary made of antique handcut crystals from the 1920's. The beads are a delicate blue grey, each one is different.  The Pater beads are a rare find -  filigreed silver Marcasite beads. We had never seen Marcasite Beads before.  Each one is like a miniature work of art. We used tiny hard to find gold faceted spacer beads which shoot out flashes of light along with the surface of the crystal beads.  It gives this rosary a heavenly glow.

Marcasite is a mineral ore and a form of iron pyrite. It  was originally used in jewelry as a substitute for diamonds. It became popular under the reign of Louis XIV of France. In later years, it regained its popularity during the "Roaring Twenties" and brought much glamour and glitter to affordable popular jewelry. Today marcasite is [ also ] used in industry to produce sulferic acid.   Shared by Fr Joe
