The contrasting gemstone colors in this 30" necklace stimulate the senses. Indian bloodstone gemstones (the larger mottled oval beads) form the base of this dramatic accessory with bold red-orange colored agate and cool new jade serpentine as the round contrasts of color. In the first century, Greek philosophers wrote of bloodstone as a preserver of health and protection against deception. It is common for bright red jasper patches to be distributed in the dark fine-grained quartz. India was the ancient source for the gemstone, from low-temperature, silica-rich waters percolating through cracks and fissures of other rocks. Copper toggle clasp.

Cost: $75.00 USD
