Dyed stabilized magnesite in a 14x7mm pumpkin cut — that satisfying ridged shape adds dimension and movement to strung work without adding visual weight. You get a full 15.5" strand to work with.
The mix lands in the whites color family with a soft, pastel quality — think airy and understated rather than stark, with the natural matrix of magnesite visible beneath the dye.

Description
The sky's the limit for design possibilities using these fun brightly hued nugget 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.
