Frequently asked questions
-
What tan gemstone beads do you carry?
The tan collection is jasper-dominant. Picture Jasper, Picasso Jasper, and Crazy Lace Agate provide the strongest banded patterning. Fossil Coral and Petrified Wood add organic texture and fossilized variety. River Stone, Botswana Agate, and Tanzanite at the higher end cover the broader sandy-warm range. -
What makes picture jasper different from other jaspers?
Picture Jasper is named for its dendritic and scenic patterns that resemble landscape paintings — sand-and-rust-colored bands, branching mineral inclusions, and occasional 'horizon' lines from sediment deposition. The patterning is natural and forms during slow mineral accretion in cracks and cavities. Each strand is visually distinct; designers who want matched pairs may need to hand-pick. -
Is petrified wood real fossil material?
Yes. Petrified Wood is genuine fossilized wood — original organic material replaced atom by atom over millions of years by silica (the same mineral that makes quartz). The result is a stone-hard material that preserves the original cellular structure of the wood, often visibly. Most commercial Petrified Wood beads are from Indonesia, Madagascar, or the American Southwest. -
Are any tan gemstones birthstones?
Tan and beige stones are not on the modern Jewelers of America birthstone list. Some warm-toned alternate stones (Citrine, Sardonyx) overlap with tan but are listed under their dominant color. Picture Jasper and Petrified Wood are sometimes used as 'earth element' substitutes in elemental jewelry traditions. -
How do I clean tan jasper and agate beads?
Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth — water alone is fine. Avoid harsh detergents and abrasive cleaners, which can dull the polish over time. Jasper and Agate are Mohs 6.5–7, hard enough to resist routine scratching but porous enough that strong solvents may leave marks. Petrified Wood and Fossil Coral are similar — clean gently and avoid ultrasonic cleaners, which can stress fossil structures.
