    Hey! I just want to warn all of you guys who love natural stones (like myself) to be careful with a certain type that is often called "zebra jasper". It's actually pure chrysotile asbestos and is not a hard stone that can be easily damaged and therefore can release asbestos particles into the air that you or your kids may then inhale. The problem is that many sellers have no idea what they are selling as most opaque stones are simply labelled jasper so the best thing you can do is Google what it looks like and avoid stones that resemble it in the future. Greetings!

I have noticed with some bracelets you can see the elastic due to the light color of the beads so maybe clear elastic would be an option. I am having a hard time finding a variety of good elastic.
