Each bead in this 15.5" strand is carved from dyed stabilized magnesite into a rounded Happy Buddha face, coming in at a substantial 15mm. It's the kind of statement bead that anchors a design rather than supporting one.

Magnesite's naturally porous surface takes dye in soft, pastel tones across the white color family, giving each face a gentle, matte-adjacent look with subtle variation from bead to bead.

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.
