These two Old World household aromatics sit alongside three North American botanical bundles and a selenite mineral pyramid
held inside the crystal as it grew
the stone the ancient world inlaid over gold and named for the pomegranate seed
The green is chlorite and hornblende - minerals that crept along fractures and branched as they grew
no two beads repeat - a single spreading branch on one
Angelite Crystal Bracelet size:6 mm These two Old World householdAngelite a soft, chalky pale blue, quiet as a clouded sky, the blue form of anhydrite: calcium sulfate that crystallised without water. Matte and gentle in tone. From Peru, strung on elastic cord. Its mineral name, anhydrite, is Greek for "without water" the form calcium sulfate takes when it crystallises dry, the close kin of water bearing gypsum. The colour is an even sky blue to blue grey, faintly mottled with white, matte rather than glassy.
