Description

African turquoise is a descriptive name: it is not true turquoise, but actually a jasper found in Africa. These semiprecious beads have a matrix structure similar to that of turquoise, and are light bluish-green in color. The matrix in African turquoise is usually dark or black, and African turquoise beads provide a good substitute for genuine turquoise beads. As with many semiprecious gemstones, identifying a stone accurately can be tricky! African turquoise looks very similar to variquoise, a unique combination of variscite and turquoise found in Utah and Nevada.

Azure Agate: Our azure agate beads are darker blue than many azure agate beads on the market. They are a vivid mix of indigo, cobalt blue, white, black, translucent gray and occasionally some red-browns. Some of the beads have dark blue or black spots like evil eye beads. Like other Fired Agate, the rich blues in these semi-precious beads are achieved via a combination of heat and dyes. The color goes great with new blue jeans, and is an economical alternative to lapis lazuli. The shades of blues found in strands of azure agate can be used for either the throat chakra or brow chakra (or, for classic WOW players, completing a quest in the Arathi Highlands).

Sand-colored picture jasper beads display streaks and marking that often seem to depict landscapes - from desert sand dunes to rocky mountains to dry riverbeds. This semiprecious gemstone is actually petrified mud. The mud was rich in quartz that oozed and dripped into pockets of gas formed by molten lava. Heat from the exposure turned the mud solid almost instantly. Picture jasper is found in Idaho and Oregon (USA). Our selection of picture jasper beads generally include shades of light brown, tan, cream, terra cotta and black. These semiprecious jewelry components are said to help re-evaluate life issues, facilitate development, and aid business pursuits.
