What Are African Turquoise Beads & Pendants?
African Turquoise beads & pendants are a vibrant variation of jasper—not true turquoise—prized for their unique, natural gemstone patterns. Each piece shows a blue green base with dark brown or black matrix inclusions, giving every bead its own personality.
Available styles include:
•    Smooth Beads: Polished rounds for a classic look
•    Faceted Beads: Cut edges that catch the light
•    Pendant Slices: Thin, flat shapes perfect for focal pieces
These artisan-crafted stones work beautifully as strands, accents, or a standout African Turquoise pendant on a chain. Their natural gemstone charm brings color and character to bracelets, necklaces, and mixed media designs in a friendly, eye catching way.
