St Kateri Tekakwitha Rosary with Natural African Turquoise and Onyx




The Ave beads in this rosary are 8mm African turquoise beads. While African turquoise is the common name for this stone, it isn't actually turquoise. It is a form of jasper that is mined in Africa. Because its teal color and black matrix are so similar to turquoise it is often referred to as African turquoise and is used as a turquoise substitute. The Pater beads are 12mm black onyx with Tibetan Silver spacers at either end. The center, which honors St Kateri Tekakwitha, and the crucifix are both silver colored metal. This is a substantial rosary with a nice weight and feel to it.

St. Kateri Tekakwitha Rosary with Aqua Terra Jasper Unbreakable



The Ave beads in this rosary are 8mm Aqua Terra Jasper. The name means water and earth. Since St Kateri is the patron saint of the environment, I thought they were especially fitting for a rosary made in her honor. These beads are pale blue with pale tan swirls. Some of them have a beautiful reddish tinge to them. The Pater beads are a cluster of amber colored jasper and carnelian. All of the beads have a swirl of silver plated wire going up the side for extra detail. The crucifix and center are silver colored metal.  Please click here to learn more about this rosary and please visit my shop, HolyNameRosaries.com to see more of my unbreakable rosaries and chaplets.
