Description from Granny Nancy: I had no idea how many Pacific Blue Apatite beads LB has. I saw the snowflake and knew it would be perfect and then I saw a reindeer. So this is perfect for the North Pole where Santa is busily working away and then on down to Alaska in a few months and then to the rest of the cold climates.

Crystal Canary says:When I think of Apatite, I usually veer toward ocean designs–BUT, I love it used in a winter pick. It’s different, unexpected and works so well! Great thinking Nancy
