Parastalgia EDC beads (Grail Drop #18)

Handmade in California by Tim Markel, the Parastalgia EDC beads are the 109th shop-drop by the Orange County maker and the 18th CW Grail Drop. The Parastalgia EDC beads feature the legendary Westinghouse Special Blue Glass the first CW drop to feature the WH Blue Glass since the Glass Atlas bead (Grail Drop #7) in June 2025.

Westinghouse Special Blue Glass is one of the rarest and most highly sought-after materials in existence, considered 'grail-level' by collectors. WH originally manufactured the Glass recipes for decorative purposes. Produced for a brief period, likely in the 1980s, it was a non-catalogued recipe which became popular among knife makers but was eventually discontinued by Westinghouse. Any remaining supply has been acquired by collectors and has become incredibly rare, with some even considering it nearly extinct.

Centered between the Special Blue Glass are four Titanium segments, two lab opal layers, three Hyperglow segments, and two copper layers - all finished in a high polish.

A total of 9 Parastalgia beads were made, but only 8 are available through the shop-drop.

The Parastalgia beads were fine-tuned to work perfectly on your standard 6mm spin-sticks/bead-caddies, or as a knife lanyard bead, or zipper-pull.

Every Copper Wagon bead comes to you with a signed certificate of authenticity, themed paracord, and limited-edition swag.
