New arrivals just landed at Tejas Beads!

A full table of fresh strands came in this week, and a few of them we’ve never carried before. Swipe through:

❤️ Anyolite Ruby A smooth rounds, 6mm and 8mm. Deep magenta to w**e red, cut from the ruby-rich side of anyolite. Heavy in the hand the way corundum should be.

💚 Seraphinite microfaceted rounds, 3mm and 4mm. Forest green clinochlore with the silvery feather streaks that gave it its name.

🤍 Freshwater pearl rondelles, 4mm, 5mm and 6mm. Creamy white with a soft peach glow, flattened so they sit flush on the strand.

💙 Azurite malachite smooth rondelles, 2x4mm. Royal blue and teal green in every bead.

🌙 Gray labradorite microfaceted rounds, 4mm. A quiet, even gray with blue flash scattered down the strand. An easy neutral next to brighter stones.

💗 Baroque freshwater pearls, 14mm. Big free-form pearls with pink and silver overtones, no two alike.

🧵 And for the cord and macrame crowd, new large hole half strands with 2mm to 2.5mm holes: peach moonstone in 8mm and 10mm, chevron amethyst in 6mm, 8mm and 10mm, and labradorite in 6mm and 8mm.

For most of its history, citrine was sold as topaz.

Both stones can be golden, and before modern gemology jewelers called nearly any golden gem “topaz.” So the citrine in Victorian Scottish kilt pins and the big Art Deco cocktail rings often went by topaz. Citrine did not get its own spot on the American birthstone list until 1952, next to topaz, which had held November since 1912.

The 2 are not related. Citrine is quartz, with a trace of iron giving it the color. Topaz is a separate mineral, harder and about a third heavier.

A couple more things worth knowing: the name comes from the French word for lemon, and “Madeira citrine” is a color (a deep orange brown, like the w**e), not a place the stone is mined.

This week citrine is our Gemstone of the Week.

Petrified wood reminds us that the deepest changes happen slowly. What began as a living tree became stone over millions of years, one cell at a time, without losing its original grain or rings. Many people keep it close when they are working toward something that cannot be rushed, as a quiet reminder that lasting transformation is rarely sudden.

The warm browns, tans, and soft grays are a natural fit for fall designs, with grain running through every strand. 🍂🤎
