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 cut surface is useful when the design needs a little sparkle but still should read as natural gemstone.
Prehnite works well for designers who want a recognizable natural material and enough visual character to make a simple layout feel considered. Natural Color material is useful when the design should keep the stone's original character rather than a perfectly matched, factory-even look.
