Each 15.5" strand holds chunky 30x40mm magnesite beads carved into elephant shapes — a statement-scale focal that does the design work for you. Dyed stabilized magnesite keeps the color consistent and the weight surprisingly manageable for such a large bead.
The mix lands in soft, airy whites and pastels — think the pale, chalky tones you'd expect from magnesite, with the dye adding gentle variation across the strand rather than a flat uniform look.
String a single elephant as a pendant focal on a knotted cord necklace, or work several together on heavy-gauge wire for a bold statement piece. These also translate well to macramé, where the large bead size pairs naturally with thicker cord and wrapping techniques.

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.
