These 4x8mm saucer roundel shaped beads were cut from MAGNESITE also known as Howlite,dyed Turquoise color.These will not confuse an educated eye, but they are a inexpensive alternative to natural turquoise stone – the color is pretty, they are produced via liquid injected into a mold, which makes them very consistent in size with few surface defects, the dye is resin infused so it is permanent, will not bleed on your favorite silk blouse, and they are much cheaper than real turquoise.
