EARTH TREASURES
SEMI-PRECIOUS STONES - FROM THE DEEPS OF THE EARTH

RET - EARTH TREASURES
(for more rosaries, information scroll down)

SPOKEN WORD OF GOD
Think of it! the semi precious stones used in these rosaries are millions of years old and were spoken into existence by the word of God! Rosaries made from these gemstones are often strung in their natural form as chunks or chips. We picture the desert fathers using these pebbles, but unlike ours, their counting stones were probably unstrung and kept in a leather pouch! But you will also see more elegant, faceted stones that reveal their individual and inner beauty. Ever changing selection, most are limited editions, when gone, unable to replace. Our annual trips to the International Gem and Mineral Show in Tucson reveal new discoveries yearly.

HAND CUT ROSES
Each of these precious handcut rosebuds are of Red Jasper. They give such richness to the gemcut Jasper Ave beads with their soft earthy greens and terracotta reds.

PSALM 8:5-7
4 When I see your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and stars that you set in place —5 What are humans that you are mindful of them,mere mortals that you care for them?6 Yet you have made them little less than a god,crowned them with glory and honor.7 You have given them rule over the works of your hands ...

... nature and grace ...
'There is no difference between nature and grace. It is all one sweet splendor' Father Pablo Straub (EWTN)
