These natural stone beads are cut and polished by a combination of machine and hand finishing. Due to the way they are processed, the size of beads can differ up to 0.5mm and result in a different strand length. Color and bead shape may also vary from bead to bead, strand to strand and batch to batch. The beauty of natural products is their organic and varied nature so precison and exactness here is not typical of these products. These stone beads are ideal for stringing projects but not reccomened for elaborate beadweaving.
