Mezcal Bean + Rabdotus Shell Necklace
Stacked necklace made of wild harvested Texas Mountain Laurel and rabdotus shells. Texas Mountain Laurel is also known as mezcal bean or frijolillo. These beans are poisonous to both animals and humans but have been used ancestrally for ceremony and body decoration by many indigenous peoples. We wear these beans as protection. Rabdotus shells are scattered throughout the delta, a reminder of the shifting river and bodies of water around us. We wear them to ground ourselves and as a way to connect to our bodies of water.
