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.
