Hints of Autumn is my newest 3 strand necklace using Bamboo Agate 3mm round beads, Dream Jasper round and flat disc beads and Red Picture Jasper 4mm round beads. I used Delica Glass spacer beads and a silver filled toggle clasp at the ends. The short strand is 17 inches long and the longest one is 20 1/4 inches long.

I love the warm Autumn colors of the Dream Jasper with the browns, greens, oranges and tans. The Bamboo Agates and Red Picture Jasper just pick up on the Dream Jasper's colors!

According to crystalmagic.com regarding Bamboo Agate, "Belonging to the Agate family, these stones will provide a gentle, yet palpable, supporting and grounding energy. The speciality of Bamboo Leaf Agate is the overcoming of negativity and anxiety, and the replacement of these emotions with peace, self-love, and happy energy."
