I really like this rosary. I used 8mm landscape jasper for both the Ave and the Pater beads. I like to make rosaries out of natural stone beads, and I'm glad there is such a huge variety out there.

The spacer beads are 4mm picture jasper. The accents on either side of the Paters are composed of brown iris glass and 4mm blue Swarovski crystal bicone beads.

The bronze-pewter center has the Greek Alpha and Omega flanking the Chi-Ro symbol. The back of the center says Ave Maria. (Greek on one side, Latin on the other.)

The style of the bronze-pewter crucifix is called the cursillo crucifix.

The overall length of the rosary is 19 3/4 inches (50 cm).
