Banded Agate Rosary- 6MMI chose the beads and accents for this rosary, and I made it by hand. The beads on this rosary are 6MM banded agate stones that have been dyed to amethyst shades deeps purples and pinks with stripes and swirls running through. I used round silver filigree beads for the Pater beads. The crucifix and center are nickel silver the crucifix is about 1 5 8 inches long and the center is about 3 4 inches.
