8mm Bamboo Coral Rondelles, 16 inch long.

These pictures represent the batch you are buying from.

Gorgeous bamboo coral rondelles. The smooth surface of a coral bead can only be attained from cutting the center(core) of the branches of coral. So although it's common to see 3-5mm or even 6mm smooth coral beads on the market, 8mm rondelles takes a lot more material(bigger branch) to cut, which makes these a rare find. These strands are fine jewelry quality and will be a stunning addition to any design. 

Natural bamboo coral 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.
