50 Stone Chip Beads
For the jewelry-maker or beading enthusiast, here are 50 beads made of Chevron Amethyst 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.

Chevron Amethyst is also called Dogtooth Amethyst. Why, we don't know. It doesn't look like dog teeth. This is the stone that occurs when white Quartz grows alongside purple Amethyst. The stripes can sometimes be very dramatic, though in chip beads you have to look more carefully to see them. Chevron Amethyst goes very nicely with either pure white Quartz or dark purple Amethyst--each brings out the unique two-tone effect in this stone.
