These are the Faceted Gemstone Beads we stock that do not fit into any other shape category. In this section you may find shapes such as faceted or face polished coins, diamond or bicone beads, faceted teardrops and more.
Stock of specialty shapes such as these tends to be more limited and transient than the standard shapes, so check back often if you are in the market for more unusual faceted bead choices.
Heishes are tubular shapes with a flat cut edge - each bead is typically cut shorter than the diameter of the tube. Sometimes this shape is also called a "tire" or "wheel". In this case, the outer surface is also faceted, giving ample opportunity for sparkle and blue 'flash'. Base color is white, with almost no tiny black inclusions that are often seen in Rainbow Moonstone. 4.4-4.8mm diameter beads are strung on 14-14.5" strands.
This garnet is formed into somewhat round shapes, then is loosely faceted and tumbled. The color and clarity is good. Beads are approximately 4 to 4.5mm in diameter. Get some garnet sparkle at a very reasonable per strand price! Strung on 14-14.5" strands.
