8x10mm Faceted Chinese turquoise teardrop loose beads, from Hubei. 10 pieces.

These pictures represent the actual batch you are buying from.

These pieces are a beautiful blue with a small amount of matrix. Chinese turquoise is known to be less blue than American turquoise, but unlike the green turquoise from Anhui, these turquoise from Hubei are just the right hint of green which will look good on any skin tone. 

This batch of turquoise is stabilized, but not dyed. Most turquoise needs some form of treatment due to its softness, and there are lots of different processes. There's a "clear treat" in which acrylic resin is applied but no color is added, this batch reflects that treatment.
