Carnelian

Semi precious gems include three oval carnealian beads in the middle of the necklace, jasper, agate, moonstone, amethyst, and rhyolite on a 22" necklace. 
The bit of stringing material that is exposed near the clast isn't a mistake; there are two good reasons for this. I use a strong stringing material composed of 49 individual metal strands. Strong, but not invincible. If there's too much tension on the stringing material, the stringing matrial will break. To prevent that, a bit of stringing material is left showing near the clasp. The second reason is I need room between the beads and the clasp to accommodate my fingers and pliers.
