African Turquoise (AAA) 8mm Round 15-16 Inch Fire *These beads are "diamond cut"African Turquoise is not actually Turquoise, but rather a speckled teal Jasper found in Africa and often treated to simulate the beautiful blue to green associated with true Turquoise. It contains inclusions such as copper and iron, creating veins and mottling that ranges in color from rust to black. Considered a stone of transformation and evolution, it is believed to awaken those who carry it to their highest spiritual purpose.
