3mm Dark Chinese Turquoise Rounds. 15.75 inch strand.

These pictures represent the actual batch you are buying from.

These strands have a lot of character! Although heavy-matrixed, they are cut into delicate rounds (most heavy-matrixed turquoise get tumbled into freeform shapes).  Rounds take more material to make than any other shapes, which makes these more valuable compared to other shapes. Perfect for necklaces, bracelets or earrings.

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.
