Each bead varies in size, shape and color no two beads are exactly alike. Because these are natural stone beads, each one has its own character including crackling, inclusions, chips, etc... These beads are all center drilled, with the occasional bead having a slightly off center hole.

These beads measure about 22mm long by 13mm wide by 2.5mm thick and the holes measure about .5mm to .8mm in diameter. The crystal rondelles measure 8x6mm. The strand measures about 3.5" inches long. There are approximately 8 carved leaf beads and 9 crystal rondelle beads on a strand (17 beads total).

Blackstone is a term that is generally used for any black colored stone that is either unidentifiable or a form of black jasper. It usually isn't as shiny as Onyx, but rather more satin in finish, and can be carved into unique shapes. Most times it is jasper or chalcedony, and may occasionally have inclusions of cream or brown. Because the name Blackstone can encompass any stone that is dark, Blackstone comes from all over the world.
