rosaries from the rosary workshop - RET.21115, CET.21115
 SPLENDOR of JERUSALEM IV
RHYOLITE - MULTI COLORED GREENS

ROSARY: rare rhyolite (volcanic)
 RARE AND HARD TO FIND
This is a very hard stone to find!  We sold out of our first 3 editions in this series quickly and have tried for several years to reorder from our old source but they have been unavailable.  Just recently we were fortunate to find them again. Available for a short time until gone.  What is Rhyolite?

FACETED RHYOLITE IS ESPECIALLY POWERFUL WITH AMETHYST PATERS CAPPED WITH ANTIQUED FILIGREES 

WHAT IS RHYOLITE?
Rhyolite is an Igneous Rock forged by fire - cooled from a molten state (as hot as 2192°F).  It comes from volcanic action.  It appears to be tiny drop of foamy sea water, frozen in time.  Each one a little different from the next in its visual texture highlighted by a faceted surface.  You may find some with transparent areas but they are mostly opaque.  Sometimes bits of creamy white, sometimes coral, but mostly sea green.  A beautiful creature of God, certainly worthy of the glory of Jerusalem.

EYE OF THE CAMERA
We are always surprized at how the eye of the camera sorts out color - and there is little we can do about it.  Note here the metals and the filigree caps are very similar in depth of color - guess we should not have polished the center and crucifix as they flash back more light than the eye sees!

ROSARY: rare rhylolite, close up
FACETED AMETHYST CZ CRYSTAL PATERS 
This is our fourth edition of this rosary. Rhyolite ia a rare and beautiful stone, thousands of years old but especially lovely when mined and faceted in the hands of mankind. A beautiful signature of God's word. (Read more above). Note the Faceted Pater beads are a heavenly, royal amethyst. There are 5 loops on each of the fingers that give honor to the 5 wounds of Christ allowing the royal heavens of the king to show through.

 ISAIAH 60:1-6
     Rise up in splendor, Jerusalem! Your light has come, the glory of the Lord shines upon you. See, darkness covers the earth, and thick clouds cover the peoples; but upon you the LORD shines, and over you appears his glory. Nations shall walk by your light, and kings by your shining radiance. Raise your eyes and look about; they all gather and come to you: your sons come from afar and your daughters in the arms of their nurses.

 ... Then you shall be radiant at what you see, your heart shall throb and overflow, for the riches of the sea shall be emptied out before you, the wealth of nations shall be brought to you. Caravans of camels shall fill you, dromedaries from Midian and Ephah; all from Sheba shall come bearing gold and frankincense, and proclaiming the praises of the LORD.
 ... so much more than the sum of the parts ...
Your ryolite rosary is so beautiful!  The lovely green beads evoke images of our Lord's promise of everlasting life, the emerging green of the new spring season and our renewal through faith and hope.  You and the Ladies of the Guild create rosaries that are so much more than the sum of the parts.

Each rosary reflects the care, the joy and the love of rosary-making that infuses the design and creation of it.  I am always surprised by the artistry and innovative ideas in each rosary's colors, materials and design.  Thank you again for such an exquisite rosary!  God bless you,   Mary Schilhavy (IN)

St. Frances Xavier Cabrini
One whose soul is in disorder, whose mind is wandering with vain, useless thoughts, cannot pray. To pray, we must unite the flesh and its feelings to the soul with its imagination, memory and will.


ROSARY WORKSHOP MISSION STATEMENT
Our vision is to provide the finest handmade rosaries, chaplets and other fine religious art forms for personal worship we can make using the best supplies available.  The Guild believes the work of our hands should give visual Glory to God, therefore for us, the best for you is very, very important.
