The natural stone is carefully shaped into round teardrop beads – a graceful, tapered form – then faceted to enhance its natural color and brilliance. The beads measure approximately 8x16mm, offering a substantial size perfect for focal elements. Each strand is approximately 38cm (15 inches) in length, strung and knotted for safe shipping.
