Please note that bead size and quantity per strand may vary slightly due to the natural material and handmade measuring process.
Faceting helps the bead catch light from different angles, which is useful when the design needs subtle sparkle. This scale gives makers room to adjust the design from delicate to more substantial without changing the stone family. The faceted finish adds small flashes of light without changing the basic character of Larvikite.
Larvikite beads are useful when a design needs a natural gemstone identity with enough variation to keep the finished piece from looking mass-produced. A Natural Color strand is a good choice when the design needs organic variation instead of a very saturated or uniform color.
