Unit price
SKU: 4ST492
4ST492: Tourmaline Round 4mm is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
These 4mm tourmaline rounds are genuine semi-precious gemstone beads in the purple color family — a natural stone option for makers who want real mineral character in their work.
Tourmaline's natural formation means each bead carries its own depth of color, so expect variation in hue and tone across purple shades rather than a uniform dye-lot look.
Specifications
- Size: 4 mm
- Color: Tourmaline
- Material: Tourmaline
What to make with them
At 4mm, these rounds work well strung into stacking bracelets or layered necklaces where the modest size lets the stone speak without overwhelming a design; they're also a solid choice for earring drops or as spacers between larger focal beads.
Pickup currently unavailable at 8535 Commerce Place Drive NE Ste A
Description
You can almost taste the rainbow in a strand of these vibrant candy colored gemstones (please do not taste the beads). Tourmaline comes in a wide variety of bold colors ranging from bubblegum pinks, lemony yellows, earthy browns and emerald greens. Individual tourmaline crystals rarely come in one solid color, most show various shades of a color or even entirely different colors. This stone possesses the interesting trait of becoming electrically charged when heated or rubbed. It will attract dust and hairs. The Dutch once used this heated stone to clean their tobacco pipes, and called the stone "ashentrekker" (ash puller). This trait means that tourmaline requires gentle soap and water cleaning more often than most gemstones. Do not use an ultrasonic cleaner for this gemstone.
