It’s name originates from ‘tura mali’: meaning like ‘stone with mixed colours’. Usually found in granite mined in Brazil or Africa.
Tourmaline is believed to combine creativity and discipline, and is a natural source of negative ions and far infrared rays. Far infrared therapy is common to heal in Japan.
It is also thought to improve circulation, good for digestion, relieve stress, increase mental alertness and strengthen the immune system. As well as creating peace and communication between the conscious and unconscious minds.
Tourmaline, along with opal, is the gemstone for October.

Choose pastel colours and mix them to make a bright, light, design. Pearls are also popular this time of year, along with all types of crystal and jade.
These all produce a bright, high-key look. White, yellows, greens and pinks look good, giving a spring-like feel. Colourful seed beads can be used to cover eggs and other objects to give an Easter look.
Give a loved one a pearl necklace for an Easter present – she will look so good wearing it on Easter Day. Plus, flower bead bracelets and earrings are so easy to make too. Happy Easter!

"Nigel and MiMi,
The quality of gems and pearls you all have sold me have all been great quality and come with great service. Long way to ship your products but I always get them in about two weeks. Not bad!!
So, I guess all of this is live and learn; at least that's how I try to look at it so I don't make the same mistake/judgement twice! What I'm trying to say with all these words is thank you for providing this beader and jewelry maker with great quality and good service from across "the pond"!
It is so obvious that you put all you have into your business and in my opinion, it is wonderful. Happy New Year to you and your family and to all beaders! See our beads at MrBead.co.uk or MrBead.com

Bunny and egg designs and flower beads are great for the Easter and spring jewellery. We have a whole category of flower beads made from all stones and material. Some millefiori, some agate, some jade and some metal.
SOMEONE LOVES US!
At MrBead we really do try to please our customers, but sometimes it's hard work! However, occasionally we receive thanks. An email from a pleased beader:
From where I am here in southern USA, I love your products. I love the way you give meanings and descriptions. I use them paraphrased a lot when I give or sell a piece of my jewelry and find that folks love knowing about their piece of jewelry; the lore and history of the gems.
