New Gemstones in Fall Colors
Posted by Kevin on October 09 at 01:33 pmWe’re adding 20 new gemstone beads to the Lima Beads shop today. These beads are great for fall – they range from bold reds to earthy browns and greens. You can find them all on the new beads page.
The first addition is to mystic blue feldspath. We’ve added a standard 20x15mm thin pillow and 3 funky shapes: a cool little pendant, large 18x13mm rice and an awesome little 10x8mm barrel.
Next, we’ve added 10 new beads to copper green opal. There couldn’t be a more perfect stone for fall. It’s extremely popular and we’ve been waiting forever to get more shapes in stock. Today, we’ve added a teardrop, puff coins, rice, rondelles, rounds and one very cool tumbled nugget.
My favorite addition this week is the red jasper. The boldness of its red coloring is absolutely gorgeous! There is just enough pattern to keep it interesting without taking away from the color. We’ve added an oval, a rice, a thin pillow and a large puff square (30mm!).
You can also find a small apatite tumbled nugget and a citrine freeform slab in the new beads. The apatite tumbled nugget is a great little accent bead.
Let us know what you think!

Steve says:My favorite this week has got to be the Apatite Tumbled Nuggets. They pack a big punch for being as petite as they are!

Ali says:I agree with you Steve, the apatite nuggets are awesome. Another favorite of mine is the new Copper Green Opal. Some of the nuggets hold little pockets of sparkle as a nice surprise.
I love surprises on my stones.
The red in our new Red Jasper is fantastic. I’m always looking for stones in this shade.

Great gifts for those eco freindly people.

CAS says:It’s so hard to find beautiful red stones that aren’t too purply or too orangish, and you have with your Red Jasper. It’s going on my wish list (somewhere up near the top, for sure)! Stunning!
