These waistbeads were designed around beautiful rich green Malachite, dragonfly beads, leaf charms and black onyx to provide spiritual growth and help with change.

Malachite is a stone of transformation, assisting one in changing situations and providing for spiritual growth. It possesses opaque strength and power that demand respect but it is strong and soothing at the same time. The movement, flow and energy in its lines, circles and designs are welcoming and spiritually inviting.

The waistbeads are made with translucent dark green glass seed beads to complement the abundance of real malachite gemstone chips sprinkled along the strand. Dragonfly etched metal rectangle beads build on the properties of malachite as the dragonfly is a symbol of transformation. Metal leaf charms encircle the waistbeads to represent malachite's personification of the deep healing green of nature and the representation of the innate beauty of flowers, trees, roots and plants. Black onyx and a sprinkling of black glass seed beads are added to bring out the banded pattern nature of malachite. Black onyx is also a symbol of strength and change.

These waistbeads are secured using high quality beading wire for strength and durability and finished with a sterling silver clasp set.
