These gorgeous purpurite beads are a dark black-purple. Purpurite is a very rare, vibrant purple stone, with lovely patterns and a stunning color. These beads are large 8.7mm stones with a very dark, almost black coloring with spots of fascinating crackled-purple. As purpurite is a relatively soft and fragile stone, these beads have a thin coating of clear resin to make them durable enough for use.

The beautiful French-style crucifix has Fleur de Lys on the arm ends and a thick, solid body of Sterling silver. It is a weighty, satisfying crucifix with tons of style. The Infant of Prague center has a ring of small dot details around the rim, and the Sacred Heart on the reverse. This rosary is somewhat lightweight feeling for its size, it would be a perfect rosary for someone who needs large, easy to handle beads or loves rare stones.
