Jade, Coral, Turquoise Beads, New Votives and Soaps, Other Crystals in Urbana Shop

Hope to have the Summer Schedule published in about a week. Things should get hopping once again here at Beads N Botanicals starting in June. In addition to our Psychic Fair on Saturday, June 12, from 10am to 5pm, Marlita will continue to be available every other Wednesday (and a Saturday or two) for reflexology (foot massage) and Reiki energy healing sessions. Call for an appointment.

In other news, by the end of next week, we should have most of our new crystals, crystal candleholders, faceted glass rondelles and other beads out and available for purchase. We were lucky to get a few more Selenite candleholders (our regular supplier is no longer carrying them), citrine cluster and amethyst cluster tea light holders. They are absolutely gorgeous.

As you may know,Amethyst is known as a Stone of Sobriety, love, intuition, intellect and healing. Cuts through illusion. Good for meditation. It is a crystal that also increases psychic gifts.

Citrine is used to detoxify the body and regenerate tissue.  It is a stone of hope and abundance. This crystal does not hold negative energy, but instead transmutes it. This “merchant’s stone” is placed in a cash box to product more income for the merchant. Helps in maintaining wealth as well. Stimulates mental focus & endurance.  Dispels fear & brings sunshine into darkness.

There's already an incredible selection of real Jade, Carnelian, Coral and Turquoise beads new at the shop. If you thought we had a great selection before, check out these beads now! If you have not been in the shop for a while, you've been missing out.
 
 Looking for blown glass pendants or metal focal pieces? Or are wood beads or mother of pearl (MOP) pendants and beads more your style? New gemstone chip necklaces and beads include blue lace agate, smokey quartz and snowflake obsidian.
 
In addition to beads and findings, we've been making more of our signature brand Wise Weeds Botanicals votives, soaps and incense. By June we will also have incredible Shea Butter soaps, with natural essential oils of lavender, peppermint, patchouli and more.
