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. The strand is easy to work into everyday jewelry layouts, from simple stretch bracelets to mixed-gemstone designs. The faceted finish adds small flashes of light without changing the basic character of Obsidian.
Obsidian is useful when a piece needs a dark foundation or a polished black note without the sparkle of faceted crystal. Natural Color material is useful when the design should keep the stone's original character rather than a perfectly matched, factory-even look.
