We are so pleased to introduce our new LAPIS NEVADA stone bracelets and matching necklace! This mineral is very hard-to-find in bead form and these beauties coordinate beautifully with Rose Quartz.
Lapis Nevada was discovered in Northern Nevada in the 1950's, and is an opaque mixture of soft pinks, greens and cream shades. The mineral is a mixture of thulite, epidote, zoisite, feldspar, diopside, sericite, among a few others. Each bead is unique in pattern, making these bracelets very pretty!
Not to be confused with the vibrant blue Lapis Lazuli from Afghanistan, the name "Lapis" comes from the Latin word for "stone or mineral " and the name Nevada" is a Spanish word meaning "snow capped mountains".
If you love Nevada minerals, these need to be in your jewelry collection!
