If you are into Amethyst, Glass and Hessonite beads, you might also want to check Charoite Beads which are characterized by its opaque lavender color.  It has lighter shades [cream and lightbrown for example] which swirls around each piece giving it the precious marble gemstone look.

If you have not seen one in person yet, you are not alone.  Believe it or not, it is my first time to hear about it.  All thanks to the internet!  On the picture above, this set of Charoite Beads Top Drilled Faceted Heart [length: 8mm] looks gorgeous especially for women like me who are into the color lavender.  Its darker shade is also fab but I prefer the lighter one.

How about you?  Do you love jewelry?  Do you collect different kinds of gemstones?  Do you own a set of Charoite Beads?
