The raw material for the intensely red garnet strands comes from the Xinjiang province in China, which is known for the quality of its gemstones.
The garnet balls have a diameter of 4-5mm, the length of the entire garnet strand is about 40cm.
Almandine (red garnet) is valued in stone healing for its strengthening effect. The mineral supports the willpower and thus makes it possible to assert one's own ideas and conceptions even against opposition. Already Hildegard von Bingen dealt with the effect of garnet under the then common name carbuncle (Carbunkel).
Hello! My name is Marco Schreier and I am the founder of the Mineralienhandlung GmbH of the same name. Creativity and stones have been a topic for me since I was a child, and they first shaped my free time and then my entire professional life.
As a child, this began playfully with collecting and crafting with stones I had found myself and with the first minerals that my grandfather brought me from the Alps. Later, a fascination for processing, sawing, grinding, designing and artistic work with gemstones emerged. With our Chili Creative ® brand, we managed to build up a range developed by experts from our wholesale business and our production sites in Asia.
Today, numerous professional jewelry designers, goldsmiths, jewelry makers, jewelers and creative people from the online world such as Etsy and Pinterest providers use the components of Chili Creative® in their projects. With our tools, stone components, bead strands, pearls and silver parts as well as high-quality stringing materials, you can create creative jewelry projects that are highly profitable for resale.
