🤍 What is Magnesite?
Magnesite is a natural magnesium carbonate mineral (MgCO₃) that forms through the alteration of magnesium-rich rocks. It is typically found in white, cream, or off-white colors with occasional grey or brown iron oxide veining. Major sources include China, Russia, Brazil, Australia, and the United States.
Why Magnesite is Popular in Jewelry Making:
Affordable alternative to howlite – similar appearance often at lower cost
Excellent dye base – magnesite's natural porosity readily absorbs dyes, making it perfect for creating imitation turquoise, coral, or custom-colored beads
Natural bohemian look – the soft, earthy white appearance is beautiful on its own for minimalist, beach, or boho designs
Lightweight – comfortable for everyday wear
Why 128 Facets?
Standard faceted beads typically have 16 or 32 facets. Our 128-facet beads feature precision-cut angles that dramatically increase light reflection, creating subtle brilliance and sparkle even in white opaque stones.
Magnesite vs. Howlite:
Both stones are white with grey veining and are often used interchangeably. Howlite tends to have bolder, darker grey veining, while magnesite is typically creamier with softer, lighter veining. Both are excellent for dyeing.
