These 15x18mm magnesite turtle beads arrive on a 15.5" strand, each one carved into a detailed turtle silhouette from dyed stabilized magnesite — a lightweight carbonate stone that takes color evenly and holds up well to everyday wear.

The blue dye settles into magnesite's naturally chalky, porous surface, producing a soft, pastel tone with the subtle veining and matte-ish quality the stone is known for.

Description

The sky's the limit for design possibilities using these fun brightly hued TURTLE beads! Magnesite makes an economical substitute for turquoise, and perfectly compliments fresh Southwestern styles. Magnesite or Magnesium Carbonate can range from transparent to opaque and is a highly porous, low luster stone which makes it a great candidate for enhancement and dying. It can be difficult to distinguish Magnesite from both dolomite and serpentine, both are also very suitable stones for enhancement and often marketed as faux jade. Magnesite can be dyed into a broad spectrum of bold colors, and is often enhanced to resemble turquoise, it is sometimes known as lime turquoise, white turquoise, or marshmallow turquoise. Native American cultures have crafted Magnesite into beads for both jewelry and currency for hundreds of years.
