Tourmaline Micro-Faceted Rondelle beads are a bit smaller than usual, so you get a great price, considering these are the extra sparkly micro-faceted style! Micro faceted beads like these have more sparkle than regularly faceted rondelles - because there are so many more facets per bead. These strands also have two sections in the front of desirable blue toned beads. The rest of the strands consist of sections that are more traditional Tourmaline colors: greens, lighter pinks, olive greens, but none of the beads are completely black. The beads are 2.6mm to 3mm in diameter with uniform sizes on each individual strand. Strung on 14 inch long strands.
