Free form drop shapes are cut from golden brown Tigereye with nice chatoyancy. Note that many of the drops have a bit of hematite or tiger iron matrix for interest, as shown. Drops in the picture were selected to show the variation of size and shape that are typical of this group of drops.

30x20mm Oval Faceted Bead, Larvikite, 1
Item #: GBD-LF-LVK-01
Availability:
This gemstone is Larvikite (aka Blue Pearl Moonstone). It is often called "Black Labradorite" in the bead business because it 'flashes' within the stone similar to Labradorite. In the case of this stock, most of the flash is silvery in color tone. Larger and smoothly polished oval shaped focal beads have each of the four outer surfaces faceted, forming a diamond shape on each flat side (very hard to see in the picture). A few beads may have slight surface irregularities due to the composition of the gemstone material. Beads are about 30x20mm overall and are drilled on the longest dimension of the bead, as shown by the picture. Hole openings may be enlarged. Sold individually.

Chinese Turquoise Half Moon Drop Bead
Item #: GBD-L-TQC-05
Availability:
These unusual Half Moon drop beads are made from natural Chinese Turquoise. Even though the surfaces are fairly smooth and polished to a high gloss, the mixture of brown matrix and the occasion small pocket or indentation each pendant retains it's individual nature. These make a great choice when making jewelry for men - or dress them up with wire wrapping and sterling silver beads for a Santa Fe style look. Drops have been sorted into several size categories - note that size ranges overlap a bit to account for the combination of height and width. Openings to drilled hole may be slightly enlarged or notched. Sold individually.

Chinese Turquoise, Tumbled Free Form Drop, 1
Item #: GBD-L-TQC-04
Availability:
Bright turquoise blue color and moderate matrix defines this stock of Chinese Turquoise free form tumbled drops. These beads have an organic look - so you will occasionally see areas where the natural stone has slightly rough areas in the matrix or a surface void. Each pendant has been finished with a glossy polish. Drops can vary in size from 15-26mm high, but most will be about 20mm. Holes in these drops were made with a tapered tool, so one side of the hole will be larger than the other; the smaller side tends to be about 0.8mm. Drill holes may also be fairly enlarged at the bigger end. Due to the unique nature of these drops, it will be fairly difficult to provide exactly matched pairs or sets. Sold individually.

Lavender Quartz Natural Crystal Bead, 1
Item #: GBD-L-QCL-04
Availability:
Here is an unusual and very sparkling choice for a focal bead. These natural quartz crystals are very faintly lavender in color (sorry - don't know if the color is natural, but the latest shipment of the crystals have slight coloration that may be dye marks). Each piece is vaguely 6 sided, due to the hexagonal crystal structure of quartz. Beads vary greatly in size from about 20x7mm to 41x16mm. Please let us know in "Comments" when you checkout if you have a size preference. Drilled hole location varies, as shown. Limited stock. Sold individually.

Oval Faceted Donut, side drilled, 25x20mm, Tigereye, 1
Item #: DNT-SO25-TEG
Availability:
Faceted Oval shaped Donut beads are made from richly colored golden Tigereye. Because they are side drilled (along the long flat dimension) you have all kinds of possibilities for innovative jewelry. The donut hole is off-center, so some people also call these "A Go Go" donuts. A few of the donuts have a slightly flattened profile at the bottom, making them look a bit teardrop shaped. Hole openings measure about 6mm allowing you to insert a bead of your choice in the opening (we used a 5mm Silver plated filigree bead in the center of the picture). Sold individually.

Apatite Large Freeform Pendant, 1
Item #: GBD-L-APT-01
Availability:
These are some of the biggest Apatite pendant beads that we have ever seen available! The free-form shapes are highly polished but a few pendants may still have some surface texture (due to the very large size of these beads). The gemstone is nicely translucent (impossible to see in the picture), has some internal sparkle, and has slightly more of a blue-green tone than the picture picks up. Pendants range in length from about 20mm to 29mm. Due to the variation in shape and size in this group, matching sets is nearly impossible. The gemstone material is not dyed, but may have been heat treated to enhance the color. Drilled across the top, as shown. Sold individually.

Rainforest Jasper Faceted Rectangle Bead, 18x13, 1 bead
Item #: GBD-LF-RHY-02
Availability:
Colorful Rainforest Jasper faceted teardrop beads are a wonderful size for earring drops. If you are planning on making a pair, though, please be very flexible about the match, as this gemstone varies a lot in color and pattern, as shown by the picture. Tiny surface voids and clear agate patches are also very typical of this stone, so your bead may include these situations. Beads are flat faceted on both faces and are drilled along the longer 18mm dimension and are about 13 wide. Sold individually.

Geode Donut
Item #: DNT-GEODE
Availability:
Stunning works of nature's art - these donuts are made by cutting thin slices through geodes. The range of color and pattern are only hinted at by the picture! The center donut shows an example of a simple way to use these donuts as a pendant - a hand wrapped Sterling Silver wire bail and Greek leather cord. Slices range from about 3.5-5.5mm thick and are polished on the front and back.

The rest of each piece is completely natural: outer edges are somewhat rough and the interior edge is covered with the tiny crystals found within the geode. Colors vary from black to white with bands of tan, yellow, orange and red visible. We cannot match any sets - each piece is unique! Size ranges overlap in the table below because some donuts may be tall/skinny or short/round.
