The superb apatite beads are very nice quality, with a lovely clouded transparency that thrives with color. The beads are the type that changes color slightly in different light, being a bright sea blue-green out in the sunlight, but appearing a cool cerulean blue inside. The pater beads are plump blue fluorite beads, carefully selected to be a near perfect match for the small Aves. These beads also play with light in a beautiful way, catching a stunning glow in certain angles or even looking transparent against certain backgrounds.

The straight crucifix is one of our favorites, and the Infant of Prague center is perfectly sized for the 6mm Ave beads. This piece is perfect for travel or carry, or for people with smaller hands. Durable and compact construction guarantees it will last for a lifetime of use.
