3mm Faceted Natural Stone Beads for Jewelry Making AAA Quality Gemstone Beads Mix Garnet Beads 120pcs Micro Laser Cut Round Loose Beads Charms for DIY Jewelry 16.5''Healing Stone Beads

These are lovely little beads. The Chrysoprase version that I selected has a beautiful assortment of soft earth tones in it - rust, mauve, cream, caramel, brown, olive, teal, etc. The beads are nicely faceted and have a subtle bit of sparkle and shine when the light hits them. When strung, they average about 8 beads per inch. For natural, genuine stone, these are a decent value.My only quibble with this listing is that there are NOWHERE NEAR as many beads in an order as pictured - not even a fraction of the ropes and ropes draped over the hands in the photos. I counted the strung beads in my order, and I have exactly 120 as listed, and you can see in my photo that it's a modest little string which measures about 15" long.Beautiful beads, and I'm happy with what I received, but I'd prefer if they didn't get people's hopes up by depicting 20 times more beads in the photos than you actually get.

Very happy with these 3mm amethyst stones. Plenty of shimmer and shine. Nicely cut with straight holes for beading
