  Step 1

  You will need those little glass tube charms that they sell at any craft store. I just found the ones in my crafts store which were at the very bottom of the jewelry shelf, all dusty and old. But for about $1.50 each (two came in a pack). I soon found that they were somewhat fragile.

  Step 2

  Now go gather some crystals and rocks! The rocks I used were (from top) pyrite, also called fools gold, a home-grown crystal from a cheesy little kit, and that mystery rock that I found in my rock box! I don't know what its called but I will refer to it as rainbow rock because thats what it looks like :). I also made a blue and yellow necklace out of the same home-grown crystal stuff. I used those because I liked how it got really light and pastel-like!

  Step 3

  Now for the fun part! It's pretty self explanatory. Smash the rocks! (click to make bigger)

  Step 4

  Now hang it from chain, I like the look of really thin chains so thats what I used! I've been meaning to try magnetic closure but the classic little hook thingy works well too. So with useless old rocks or crystals, you can make a beautiful necklace that will have people coming up to looking at your interesting piece of jewelry!

I really like this project! I created something similar using small glass vials, and filling them with awesome crystals I purchased on a long ago trip to the Cayman Islands. What a lovely way to showcase beautiful things that can not be strung in a traditional way.
