ABC GEMS USA ABCGEMS Namibian Matrix-Brown Pietersite Beads from Africa (Vision Stone for Meditation- Gorgeous Swirling Bands) Healing Chakra Energy Crystal Stone Smooth Round 6mm Tiny

I bought these for a necklace that I wanted to make. I really like the beads, they have a great color and most of the beads were in good condition. However there was a couple of minor issues. The beads actually measure 5mm and not 6mm. When paired with another set of Ruby Zoisite 6mm beads I got from a different vendor the size difference is apparent. It's not a huge concern because I was making this necklace for myself, but if I was making it for someone else that might become a small issue. The other thing was that there were a few beads that were not consistent in their shape. Over all I expected that there would be some unusable beads (typically I find between 3-5 beads in a string that I can't use), but this string had between 10-15.Over all considering the price of Pietersite, I am happy with these these beads. A decent value.

Pretty beads, nice brownish deep earth colors
