~  #  CARVED BONE SKULLS  ~
 5606-60 FOR ROSARIES & CHAPLETS
Why skull beads for rosaries?  A very popular custom amongst religious in the 1800s as symbolized 'life over death'.  Early Jewish sages knew that the hill at Golgatha was where Adam was buried. (at least his skull was buried there) thus  (Golgatha - the place of the skull)  would also be the place where Jesus would be crucified according to scripture. Ancients believed that the blood of Jesus spilled down over the skull of Adam and salvation was ours.  Jesus became the 'New Adam' and Mary the 'New Eve'.

~  LARGE FLAT STONES  ~
NATURAL STONES FOR NECKLACES
Today we see a lot of these large, flat stones used in necklace and bracelets. But hard to find. Especially powerful when using a series, interlaced with faceted beds to give off an appearance of morning dew.  Or just use one for a simple statement.
12 FLAT OCEAN JASPER

(approx 20 x 24 mm  - drilled)

(for larger image, click icon)
ERTB.7801.12 - OCEAN JASPER

Rare, natural flat ocean jasper.  We have used these large flat ocean jasper stones as Pater beads, although large, wonderful for those with arthritic hands (20 x  24  mm) Also great for necklaces - Each one a work of art - no two alike.

6 MONGOLIAN JASPER

each rectangle (22 X 35 mm)

(click for larger image)

ERTB.7804.6 - MONGOLIAN JASPER

each a magnificent work of art:  String these exquisite rectangles of Jasper in a necklace or just use one. Each one of a kind, no two alike, each side different. It is like looking into the word of God as he spoke this stone into existence.  Man cut it and polished it bringing out its individual beauty.

Altho mined recently, these stones are well over a million years old. Yet work so beautifully in todays adornment (necklaces).

6 RIVER JASPER

each rectangle (20 x 30 mm)

(for larger image, click icon)
ERTB.7805.6 - RIVER  JASPER

a softer toned Jasper filled with imagery. Ancient stones spoken into existence by the word of God.  Shows one the song in Gods heart, harmonic in nature as each is so different - like the whole family of Jaspers, each so different -  as they give  glory, honor and praise to their maker.
