Blue Turquoise Faceted Rondels, 4mm

Stabilized Turquoise, 16" string

These are a nice bead for the price.   4mm diameter, with simple faceting for sparkle.  I was told they are 'chalk turquoise' that has been stabilized to enhance the color, and keep them from being brittle.  Turquoise in this smaller size is often very fragile, and more expensive since it tends to break alot while being drilled. These have a medium blue color, with light spiderwebbing.  

This is not re-constituted turquoise.
