Elite Shungite & Purple Fluorite Beads Clip-On
"Spectrum" Stainless Steel Carabiner on Silver Ball Chain
I would have never believed it had I not seen it. What exactly?
A tumbled elite shungite bead!
If you're familiar with elite shungite (aka type 1 shungite or silver shungite), you know that it's not known for being successfully altered into beads, polished, tumbled, drilled or otherwise shaped. It is crumbly and does not stand up will to these sorts of treatments due to it's unique molecular structure.
Somehow they managed to "gently tumble" some elite pieces into chunky beads and drill holes into them - something I have never seen before!
The luster on these tumbled elite beads is a stunningly silky smooth semi-gloss - not shiny but silky, I would say. Velvety smooth. It reminds me of properly tempered chocolate, if you're a candy maker.
I have paired one elite shungite bead with two purple fluorite beads - one dark purple and the other light - and a third silver disc bead for accent.
They are strung on silver wire and attached to a sturdy stainless steel carabiner clip, in the color "spectrum" which is a rainbow of hues.
This is a fun and versatile shungite accessory that can go just about anywhere in your home, office, or car. This clip has a wide enough "gate" to attach to a wide range of things.
I have included a 30-inch silver stainless steel ball chain so it's ready to wear as a necklace - right out of the box!
Keep in mind that the elite shungite bead is rather fragile so handle it with care. I would not recommend attaching it to anything where it's going to be banging around. Probably not the best option for kids.
