White Jade 15x10mm Faceted Barrel Semi-Precious Beads per Strand

White Jade is also called "Muffon Fat Jade" and can be found in countries like Canada, China and Russia. It is usually the Nephrite jade type and is a lovely stone featuring soft, milky creams and whites with hints of grey and butter yellow. White Jade beads are created either with natural jade rough, or lower grades of Nephrite that has been formed, cut, polished and then heat treated and/or dyed. It's a gorgeous stone that can be used in many jewelry designs, craft projects, fine jewelry creations and more. Most of Dry Gulch's White Jade beads come from East Asia, and we specialize in beautiful shapes and unique cuts.These beads measure 15mm long by 10mm wide and the holes measure about .5mm to 1mm in diameter. The strand measures about 7" inches long and there are approximately 12 beads on a strand. Being natural stones, these beads do have a weight to them.
