The matte finish on these purple creek jasper beads (aka purple cherry creek jasper beads) is a natural match with the gemstone's mellow hues of dark lavender, mauve, and cream. The gem looks good with purples, browns, and earthtones, and the dramatic brecciated patterns on these semiprecious beads make great focal elements. As with red creek jasper beads, these may be descriptively named and not a true jasper. Keep in mind that gemstones are created by Mother Nature, and the beads you buy will not display the exact same patterns pictured in our secure online store.
