Material:
- Agate: A type of chalcedony quartz known for its beautiful banding and variations in color. Dark pink agate beads could be natural or dyed. Natural agates tend to have a more muted or earthy pink tone, while dyed agates can achieve a wider range of vibrant or uniform colors.
Shape and Size:
- Faceted Roundel: These beads are round with a faceted cut, which means they have flat surfaces that reflect light and create sparkle.
- Size: 2mm x 4mm – This small size is suitable for delicate jewelry making, embroidery accents, or other projects requiring small details.
Color:
- Dark Pink: This offers a rich and sophisticated color option for your creations. The exact shade of pink might vary depending on whether the agate is dyed or natural. You might see some variations within the beads due to natural color variations in agate.
Quantity:
- Approx 120 Beads per String: This is an estimate, and the actual number might vary slightly. With 5 strings, you’ll get approximately 120 beads/string * 5 strings = 600 beads total.
