Gemstone Bracelet with Aquamarine, created in Sydney, professionally strung in Sydney on black silk, knotted each bead.
Along with the central natural Brazilian hexagonal Aquamarine, the other stones in this Gemstone Bracelet are the two twelve-sided Afghani Lapis Lazuli at the Silver catch ends, four shimmering brown Tigers Eye, six green Malachites with their characteristic striations, and four ovoid Carnelians of fine lively reddish-brown.
All five different crystal types in this Gemstone Bracelet (actually, Lapis Lazuli is gemmologically considered a rock, not a crystal) are very distinctively what they are, characteristic of their types, from the sea-blue transparency of the central Aquamarine and the deep opaque blue of the Lapis, through the Malachite striations and the shifting Tiger Eye shimmer, to the warm reddish-brown of the Carnelian, a warmth and liveliness that has made it a favourite gemstone over thousands of years, from Ancient China to Ancient Egypt, and everywhere in between and round about.
