The one decade rosary is, as it sounds - a rosary consisting of only one decade. The idea behind the one decade rosary is that it is easy to carry around and use for prayer. After the crucifix on a one decade rosary, the initial 5 beads (for saying the Our Father, 3 Hail Mary's and a Glory Be) are commonly represented with only one bead. After the rosary center is one decade - one set of ten beads.

This handmade 'Virgin and Child' one decade rosary is made with 8mm Amethyst semi-precious stones on silver iron craft wire.

Amethyst is a meditative and calming stone which works in the emotional, spiritual, and physical planes to promote calm, balance, and peace. It is also used to eliminate impatience. Emotionally, amethyst is used in crystal healing to help heal personal losses and grief, bringing one gently past. Amethyst has a gently sedative energy that can promote peacefulness, happiness, and contentment. It also is said to bring emotional stability and inner strength.

Total length is 4.25" and comes in a handmade lined crochet pouch. Prayer cards and short description of stones also included.
