I made a beautiful Mala using these beads. A few on every string, I needed to put toothpick through as ends were rough. Some beads I could not use as they were chipped. Overall the final product was worth it, however I was happy to have extra.

They are overly uniform and look dyed. A very bright green, not natural looking at all. Although, there is a slight natural sparkle to them.

I like their color, yet could be less "cloudy". I prefer Canadian Jade to these beads. I still find them to be a nice addition to my jewelry making repertoire. When on flash sale, I would order again.

So happy to find Aventurine 8mm gemstones at such an affordable price for the brilliant color, quality and character. Beautiful stone that helps with prosperity and clearing chemical and electronic smog. Green aventurine has wonderful properties and these beads made great bracelets. Each strand will make about 2 bracelets averaging 7 inches in length if you add a small finding or a couple 6mm gemstone beads or solid metal beads. Great price for this product. Will be back. Please ship to Hawaii for less.... The shipping costs are my only complaint when shopping here.
