Unit price
SKU: ST5545
ST5545: Banded Agate Purple Round 10mm is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Banded agate in a deep purple colorway, cut and polished into smooth 10mm rounds — a substantial gemstone bead that brings natural layering and rich color to any design you're building.
The banding characteristic of agate means each bead carries its own pattern of color variation, so the purple tones shift and layer across the surface rather than reading as a flat, uniform hue.
Specifications
- Size: 10 mm
- Color: Banded Agate Purple
- Material: Colored Agate
What to make with them
At 10mm, these rounds are well-suited for knotted gemstone necklaces and wrap bracelets where the bead size can really show off the banding detail, and they work equally well strung as focal repeats in a multi-strand piece alongside smaller accent beads.
Pickup available at 8535 Commerce Place Drive NE Ste A
Usually ready in 2-4 days
