For the jewelry-maker or beading enthusiast, here are 50 beads made of Larvikite chips. Chips are the small leftovers from tumbled stones or shells, with holes drilled through them. Mix them with other stone beads and metallic spacers for endless possibilities.
[Please allow for natural variations in the stones.]
Tell Me More! Bet you never thought that industrial building materials could be used in jewelry! Larvikite (also called Blue Pearl) is a type of granite that it used for facings on buildings, and for countertops and floors. It's a dark "peppery" color with little flashes of blue. It's like Labradorite if you took Labradorite and crushed into a million pieces and then cemented it back together. Oh yeah, you want some of this.
