Beautiful faceted coral in a very unique small size not seen very often in coral. The smooth surface of a coral bead can only be attained from cutting the center(core) of the branches of coral; the outer parts of coral has more pores and black markings. These have NO black markings and the facets done on these strands are fine uniform cuts, unlike the random facets typically seen on coral. These strands are fine jewelry quality and will be a stunning addition to any design. Each bead measures 3mm in diameter and the average strand's gram weight is 4.8.

Natural bamboo colors range from light gray to tan, but it absorbs dye amazingly due to its porous nature. Be aware that NATURAL RED coral is illegal to import and export, meaning they are very expensive due to lack of availability. So if you have bought or planning to buy natural red coral, make sure you know your sources and not be conned into buying dyed bamboo coral at a much higher price tag.
