This is a 32 inch strand of beads which has nearly endless ways it can be worn, displayed, or used as a fashion, home, or health accessory! There is no clasp, so the beads can fit together in almost endless configurations, or can self adhere to a metal surface ( free form or in an organic or planned shape).

There are three kinds of threaded beads:

• Hematite:  Glossy black magnetic hexagonal-shaped barrels
• Glass: Same shape as the hematite beads, but in transparent, lime green beads
• Metal Clusters: Tiny floral-like beads which separate the glass and hematite beads to add interest and prevent scratching

Hematite is said to have healing and memory-enhancing powers, according to some Asian, Middle Eastern, and Biblical-era wisdom.

These were purchased at a gift shop in Istanbul in 2007.
