Item #: GBF-OV60-APT

Availability:

Faceted oval beads in beautifully blue green Apatite! These are rather large beads for this gemstone - beads vary from about 5x3.5mm to 7.5x4.5mm. Beads are hand shaped and faceted - but as you can see from the picture, they are very uniform in width on each individual strand. Beads are fully faceted on all surfaces and the clarity is very good. Beads are strung on strands that are 15 to 15.5 inches long.

These faceted rondelles are formed from Apatite - but in an unusual bright blue color tone. Don't worry - these are natural, untreated beads - they were just selected for their unique color. Beads are between 3.3 and 3.7mm in diamater and will be relatively uniform in size on each strand. Latest stock is strung on strands of about 15 inches.

Availability:

These Apatite rondelles have been shaped and faceted by hand; the picture shows the typical variance in size and shape that you would expect of hand cut beads. The color is nice and uniform and has pretty good clarity. Beads range from 3.3 to 4mm in diameter - with uniform sizing on individual strands. Beads are strung on strands that are 14 inches long.

Item #: GBD-SF-APT-01

Availability:

These fully faceted Apatite beads are cut in a Marquise shape. While much of this stock is fairly clear (for Apatite), you will see some internal 'lines' in the crystal structure and occasional tiny black inclusions. It is possible that the drilled hole that goes across the tip of the bead may not be exactly level - please account for this possibility in your design. Due to the small size of these drops, expect that the hole size will also be small (they were strung on 0.3mm material when we received them). Sold by carat, sizes are given for reference; size ranges overlap because some drops are thinner/thicker than others.
