Love the variation that the sunstone inclusion gives. Thank you!
I purchased on strand of the 3mm beads, which had a total of 122. First glance they are very consistent in size, shape, and cut. The color is predominantly blue, in both lighter and darker hues, purples, with some that have hints of a deep reddish purple.
There are a handful of beads that have some flaws with cut, a few have some inclusions, but I am overall very impressed with these beads. For being natural-grade, many are very translucent. Several of them are incredibly stunning and will be separated for special projects.
The photo was taken in low-medium natural light. It has been edited slightly to increase brightness.
