I have no hesitation in recommending these beads. The choice of tourmaline is extensive, and all of what is available is true to the descriptions given on Intrinsic Trading's website. I am a repeat customer, relieved to have found people who are honest, experts in their field, and who give exceptional customer care. Packaging is meticulous, and my parcels arrive on time, every time. Everything you see on the website is exactly like it is. So thank you, Intrinsic Trading, for making my life a whole lot easier!
