Heirloom Blue Goldstone Bronze Rosary 8mm
Goldstone is the beautiful glass invention of Renaissance monks in Venice, Italy. The original Goldstone was golden in tone due to the presence of copper with solar colored scintillations, but later glassworkers invented a variety containing cobalt in place of copper. The microscopic inclusions of metallic cobalt crystallize out of the matrix of deep midnight blue glass as the gemstone slowly cools in an oxygen-deprived environment, leaving silvery star-like sparkles embedded in the gemstone, earning it the alternate name, "Stellaria". The stunning effect is that of gazing into the depths of the midnight sky! Reminds me of the prayer, "Hail and Blessed be the Son of God, born of the most pure Virgin Mary, at midnight, in Bethlehem, in piercing cold!" In this rosary, I have linked together eight millimeter gemstones with heavy brass wire and chain, and tied each decade together with ten millimeter Pater beads. The 2-1/4" solid Bronze handcast reproduction of the Elegant and Old Crucifix and a 1" solid Bronze handcast reproduction of the Our Lady of Good Hope Center piece are a lovely match to this gemstone!

Heirloom Blue Tigereye Bronze Rosary (8MM)
Large 8mm Tigereye gemstones make a lovely man's rosary. These tigereye gemstones capture blue and gold light within the otherwise deep black beads. Note: these gemstones can look very different in different lighting which is why I have different photos shown with different backgrounds to draw out the differences. The gemstone looks anywhere between black (in incandescent light) to blue (in strong sunlight.)
The solid bronze antique reproduction crucifix and center are complimented with lightly antiqued solid 20 gauge bronze wire and 17 gauge brass chain (very sturdy and thick chain). The beads are capped with bronze rings for added beauty and quality. SKU: HZ8TF-T608C676+LS69/ In-stock order price: $192.00 Special order price: $198.99

Goldstone is the beautiful glass invention of Renaissance monks in Venice, Italy. This fascinating gemstone has microscopic inclusions of metallic copper that have crystallized out of the liquid glass as the stone slowly cools in an oxygen-deprived environment.

In this rosary, I have linked together eight millimeter gemstones with heavy brass wire and chain, and tied each decade together with ten millimeter Pater beads.

Jupiter Jasper Heirloom Bronze Rosary (8mm)
The regal Jupiter Jasper gemstones in this beautiful rosary receive their name from the planet Jupiter since the bands of color that circle these gemstones remind star-gazers of the cloud bands that ring the planet Jupiter. Some astronomers believe that an exceptional appearance of the planet Jupiter, King of the Planets, at the time of our Lord's Nativity in the constellation of Leo was the star of Bethlehem heralding the birth of the foretold Lion of Judah come to be the King of Kings. Jupiter, being the largest of the planets, is also representative of kingship, and so I have chosen for my crucifix the prominent 1-7/8" solid Bronze handcast reproduction of the Celtic Crucifix with its strong Trinitarian motif. I have paired this with the 1-1/4" solid Bronze handcast reproduction of the Carmel Center piece which shows Our Lady of Mount Carmel crowned as the King's Mother. (The gemstone also recalls that brown habit of the Carmelite saints.) Finally, since Jupiter is usually the brightest star in the sky, I completed my astronomical theme by placing a star beadcap on each Our Father bead. Exceptionally constructed with solid bronze 20 gauge wire individually handturned for each bead, each decade is tied together with my strong bronze rosary chain.

Lizardite Heirloom Bronze Rosary (8mm)
Contrary to popular belief, the Lizardite gemstone does not receive its name from the little reptile (though its scaly green color-pattern might suggest that) but from the place where it is commonly mined, the Lizard Peninsula on the coast of Cornwall in England. This beautiful, intricately patterned, green gemstone makes a lovely rosary bead. I have paired it with my two of my most popular solid bronze pieces, handcast reproductions of the Circle Points Crucifix and the Sacred Heart and Carmel Center. Turned together with heavy gauge bronze wire, this sturdy rosary will last a lifetime.
