Each gorgeous, dark cherry red natural garnet bead is double ring capped in Sterling silver.

Lepidochrosite is a quartz with iron oxide (rust-colored) inclusions. It's most often cut in sharper nugget shapes, so these softly faceted large rice cut beads were a real find. Their color is perfect with the beautiful, dark wild cherry of the garnet. A handsome rosary with a silky feel.
