Rare Atlantiscite
An MHR Rustica rosary
Atlantiscite is a fantastic stone, rare and highly
sought. Both the abacus (fat rondelle) beads and
the barrels are large, so the rosary is fully wrapped
with 20g Sterling for strength. This is an artisan
piece--big, bold, earthy and wonderful to handle.
This rosary is no longer available, thank you!

Old World Genuine Italian Cameo
These imported Italian beads are made from
the leftover conch shell portions not used by carving
artists for their fine cameos. Peachy conch beads
are super rare, and these are absolutely beautiful,
with a glassy polish in rice and teardrop shapes.
Sold, thank you!

Fossilized Peanut Wood & Carved Bone
An MHR Signature Rosary
As is often the case with fine and beautifully colored
petrified wood beads, fossilized Aussie peanut wood
is a rare find, and a very expensive one. Not to be
outdone in quality are the buffalo bone Pater beads,
hand carved into round knots. Extraordinary!
Sold, thank you!

Apache Jasper With St. Gertrude
This beautiful rosary is completed with a St. Gertrude
center, as a reminder of the dual usefulness of any
5 decade rosary--prayers for souls in Purgatory and
the conversion of sinners. Apache jasper is a less
common stone, and these olive-shaped and round
beads were a fantastic find! Only 1 available.
This rosary is no longer available, thank you!

Red Creek Jasper Extended Style
Red Creek jasper is a beautiful stone, with veining
and colors from iron red to dusky blue, olive,
mustard and peach. This rosary is constructed with
extra long chain segments, similar in style to antique
pieces often passed down from clergy. Very fluid
drape, and the stone patterning is wonderful!

Bronzite Render Unto Caesar
The Bali cast bronze beads used here were named
"emperor" beads by the supplier, and when I put them
next to bronzite, I thought of of ancient Roman bronze
coinage, and the passage in Matthew which titles this
rosary. The result is a striking piece, and a reminder
of everyday spiritual choices in a material world.

Picture Jasper & Bronzite
This fully wire wrapped rosary features a heavy
bronze Byzantine reproduction crucifix, and was
designed particulary for men. Bronzite has inclusions
which look like metallic plates within the stone--
handsome paired with the satin matte finished jasper.
This rosary is no longer available, thank you!

Heliotrope Christ the King
Heliotrope, or bloodstone, has long been associated
with the blood of Christ. These deep forest green,
French blue, rich red and speckled beads have an
extraordinarily fine polish. Paired here with carved fancy
jasper rounds and Christ the King crucifix. Fine!
This rosary is no longer available, thank you!

rosary dedicated to Our Lady of Lourdes. This
piece features a gorgeous Lourdes center, and both
the finishing parts and embellishments are detailed
and ornate. Beautiful and opulent!

And he said to them, "To you has been given the secret of the kingdom of God,
but for those outside, everything comes in parables, in order that
they may indeed look, but not perceive, and may indeed listen, but not understand,
so that they may not turn again and be forgiven.
Mark 4:11-12
