African Turquoise 8mm Round Beads (approx. 37cm Strand)
Don’t let the name fool you—African Turquoise 8mm round beads are actually a beautiful, dense variety of jasper mined in Africa. It has earned its “turquoise” title because it shares the same stunning blue-green palette and dark matrix as traditional turquoise, but with the added structural toughness and “earthy” soul of a jasper.
Why You’ll Love These Beads:
Organic “Teal” Palette: These beads feature a gorgeous spectrum of sea-foam greens, rich teals, and muted turquoises, all anchored by a base of earthy tans and browns.
Dramatic Dark Matrix: Each 8mm bead is etched with a natural, “web-like” black and dark brown matrix. These inclusions give the stone its famous “ancient” or “tribal” look, ensuring no two beads are ever the same.
Superior Hardness: Unlike genuine turquoise, which can be soft and porous, African Turquoise is a jasper. This means it is much harder, more durable, and resistant to skin oils or fading—perfect for everyday “stacker” bracelets.
The “Evolution” Stone: Historically associated with growth and change, this stone is a favorite for yoga jewelry, mala beads, and designs intended to inspire a sense of adventure.
Generous Design Length: With a 37cm strand, you have more than enough beads for a standard 19cm adult bracelet, with plenty left over for matching earrings or as accents in a rustic necklace.
