Black Stone (matte)

Legend - Black Stone is a fine grained limestone - naturally black (probably due to hydrocarbon).  The finish is obtained by a chemical treatment which produces the matte appearance.  The beads are then sprayed with wax.  In certain temperatures, or if washed in soap, the colour may turn a dry grey until it once again comes in contact with the skin or an oiled surface.

Properties - It is bellieved that these stones have the ability to absorb negative power and are considered good for protection.

Description - These Black Stone beads are solid matte black - really great for mixing or using with silver.  Sold as temporary strung 40cm (approx) strands.
