This hand crafted macrame necklace features a beautiful raw bolivianita stone, caught in a purple linen net, that hangs from a squared macrame design, with a dark purple cross pattern in the center. The necklace is made in alternating tones of purple, using the double spiral knot. For an elegant, native look.SN851716SN851881

A beautiful gemstone that naturally blends amethyst with citrine, so each quartz stone will flow from crystal purplish to golden quartz colors. Known as ametrine, in Bolivia, where it is the national stone, it is called bolivianita. In this piece the ametrine stone is conserved in its naturally occurring form. The macrame design is made with contrasting light and purple linen, with a cross geometrical symbol in the center, with the intention to evoke some of the traditional designs of the rugs and cloth of the indigenous people of Bolivia.

To clasp the necklace insert the purple acai seeds, native to the acai palm tree form the Amazon jungle (yea, the same one that gives us the delicious, antioxidant acai berry drink) into the bead opening. The necklace can be washed with gentle soap and a soft brush. It can be used in water since all of its materials are water resistant.SN851713
