It is typically an amethyst-based material containing a complex mixture of mineral inclusions. The name Auralite 23 refers to the claim that as many as 23 mineral components have been identified in material from the deposit, although individual stones do not necessarily contain all 23. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese beads show off the wonderful natural complexity that makes Auralite 23 so appealing. You'll find \u003cstrong\u003esoft lavender and purple amethyst tones, clear and smoky areas, golden-brown and reddish inclusions, and darker mineral-rich sections\u003c\/strong\u003e throughout the strand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe beads range from approximately \u003cstrong\u003e9 mm to 20 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving the strand plenty of natural variation and several larger pieces that can serve as focal elements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI especially love that these are \u003cstrong\u003etop drilled rather than conventionally center drilled\u003c\/strong\u003e. It gives the individual beads a completely different presence and makes them wonderful for necklaces, statement jewelry, focal pieces, and designs where you want the natural shape of the stone to remain the star.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach gemstone is separated by a \u003cstrong\u003esmall glass bead\u003c\/strong\u003e, creating space between the stones and allowing each Auralite 23 bead to be seen individually. The result is a beautiful strand with an almost curated, gallery-like quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLimited Availability\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is \u003cstrong\u003ehard-to-find material\u003c\/strong\u003e, and I have only a limited supply of these strands. The combination of natural Canadian Auralite 23, larger 9–20 mm beads, unusual top drilling, and the varied natural coloration makes these a particularly special addition for gemstone collectors and jewelry designers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMetaphysical Tradition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn crystal and metaphysical traditions, Auralite 23 is associated with \u003cstrong\u003emeditation, spiritual awareness, intuition, inner growth, and connection with higher guidance\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is often regarded as a stone for deep reflection and personal transformation. These are traditional metaphysical beliefs and are not scientifically established effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStone:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural Auralite 23 Cacoxenite\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Canada\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximate Bead Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9–20 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oval \/ organic oval\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrill:\u003c\/strong\u003e Top drilled\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpacers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glass beads between gemstones\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e#SP7925\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailability:\u003c\/strong\u003e Limited\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrusted Source Since 1998\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"agrainofsand-usa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51161224183975,"sku":null,"price":46.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/5744\/6311\/files\/NaturalAuralite23CacoxenitetopdrilledovalgemstonebeadsfromCanada_SP7925.jpg?v=1786467115","url":"https:\/\/agrainofsand.com\/products\/auralite-23-cacoxenite-top-drilled-oval-beads-sp7925","provider":"agrainofsand-usa","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
