Purple is one of my favorite colors, so when I found these lilacstone beads I figured I wanted to see what I could do with them. For this necklace I only used three different sizes of lilacstone beads and some spacers, but I have also made a necklace with lilacstone beads combined with amethyst and lava stone beads that I think turned out even better and that I have been using quite a bit.

The colors of the beads vary from a very light purple that is almost white to a pretty dark purple, but most of them was somewhere in-between, which made it a bit difficult to select the beads to produce the pattern with a dark bead in the middle of each group of five beads and successively lighter beads towards the edges and the spacer beads.
