Blue Roses in Iolite
Blue Roses in Iolite
Evocative of a lavender blue rose, this lovely iolite is beautifully clear with tons of interesting inclusions. The fine blue colors fade from a deep lavender blue to a near white or clear, with occasional spots of inky black. These beads are very nicely polished, and are enchanting alongside the hand oxidized wire.
The crucifix has ivy and flower details, and the miraculous center bears two roses on the front with a traditional miraculous medal reverse. Lightweight 20 gauge wire and 22 gauge wire wraps make this rosary easy to carry, and the strong chained construction ensures its durability and longevity. This piece is well suited to travel or carry in a small pouch.
