Calling all jewelry makers! This is a fantastic bulk pack of beautiful, natural Red Carnelian beads. You get 5 full strands, each about 15.5 inches (38cm) long. The beads are a faceted 'S' shape, measuring 8mm in size with a 1.2mm hole - perfect for stringing. In total, you'll get approximately 185 beads (count may vary slightly). They're genuinely natural stone, not dyed or treated, so each bead has its own slight variations - that's the beauty of it! The package also includes a bonus roll of strong, stretchy beading cord (about 10 meters). The beads are well-polished, smooth, and have very few, if any, broken ones from drilling. Carnelian is believed to carry energizing properties. Perfect for creating bracelets, necklaces, earrings, or adding to your craft stash. A great value for serious crafters!
