2.4-2.6mm Chinese turquoise rounds, Mojave green turquoise from Anhui. 16 inch strand.

These pictures represent the actual batch you would be buying from.

These strands are beautiful and delicate. Small rounds take more material to make than any other shapes, which makes these valuable. These are great for smaller and delicate handmade pieces.

The green in turquoise is a result of either iron impurities (replacing aluminum) or dehydration.

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.
