- Amazonite: A greenish-blue feldspar with a silky sheen, named after the Amazon River—though no deposits have actually been found there.
- Green Aventurine: Known for its slight sparkle caused by mica inclusions, giving it a subtle glittering effect known as aventurescence.
- Yellow Tigereye: This golden-brown quartz features chatoyancy, a reflective optical effect that resembles the slit eye of a cat.
- Carnelian (Red Agate): A translucent orange-red chalcedony often used in Roman signet rings due to its ability to hold detailed carvings.
- Red Jasper: An opaque stone that has been used in tools and ornamentation since ancient times, valued for its toughness and uniform color.
This curated mix offers a consistent size and faceted finish across a wide range of natural colors, ideal for colorful bracelets, coordinated designs, or component sorting by stone type.
Please Note: These beads are cut from natural gemstones, so slight variations in color, shape, and pattern may occur from strand to strand. This adds to their natural character.
