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

Pietersite is a combination of Tiger Eye, and Blue Tiger Eye (which is sort of like un-oxidized Tiger Eye...the chemistry is confusing, but that's the basic principle.) A spicy mixture of earthy colors with cool, shimmery blue among them.
