Product Description:
Add dramatic, mystical beauty with brilliant faceted sparkle to your jewelry designs with our Pietersite Faceted Round Beads Strands. These stunning beads feature natural pietersite – a rare and captivating gemstone prized for its breathtaking chatoyancy and swirling patterns of gold, blue, red, and grey, resembling storm clouds, tempestuous skies, and fiery sunsets. The faceted round shape is enhanced with a precision one hundred twenty-eight facet cut – far more facets than standard beads – creating exceptional light reflection and brilliant sparkle from every angle.
Pietersite is a brecciated aggregate of tiger eye and related minerals, known for its powerful, stormy energy. The stone displays a unique combination of golden, blue, and red chatoyant bands that seem to move and flash as the bead is rotated. Each bead is carefully shaped into faceted rounds – a classic silhouette – then precision-faceted to enhance its natural chatoyancy and color variations. The beads are available in three consistent sizes – six, eight, and ten millimeters – allowing for uniform or graduated designs.
These strands are a favorite among professional jewelry designers, crystal healers, and anyone seeking a powerful, transformative gemstone. The faceted round shape with one hundred twenty-eight facets adds texture, brilliance, and visual interest to any project. Each strand measures approximately thirty-eight centimeters in length, strung and knotted for safe shipping.
