I concur that each bead is different. The photo does not show the marbling that some of the beads have. I recommend purchasing at least 2 strands.

You can tell that these beads are authentic agate because each one has a different natural pattern. I definitely recommend these!

So beautiful and vibrant. Each bead is slightly different, which makes them each gorgeous on their own. Definitely great quality and the least expensive you can find for such quality. Already placed my next order!
