These beads are turquoise beads infused with the power stone called malachite. Malachite is a power stone also known as peacock ore in Japan. It seems that artisans create these turquoise beads by mixing in crushed power stones. The color is exceptionally beautiful, and although I've only handled turquoise beads before, the vibrant color and the surprising fact that "power stones are infused" caught my attention. When I picked them up, they were so beautiful that I decided to list them, hoping someone who appreciates them will find them. Each bead is meticulously crafted, so they are priced higher than regular turquoise beads, but if you're interested, please give them a try. I highly recommend this exquisite item. This is a special set. I purchased these in Turkey. How about it for those who enjoy handmade crafts?! These malachite turquoise beads have a beautiful color, and more importantly, they have a pleasant feel to the touch. Each strand is approximately 30 cm long. I will offer a set of 9 strands, each approximately 30 cm long, for 2180 yen including shipping. Originally 860 yen x 3 sets = 2580 yen, now offered for 2180 yen. You save 400 yen. I used to offer a set of 3 strands, each approximately 30 cm long, for 860 yen including shipping, but I've created this special set. The size of each individual bead is approximately 1.3 mm x 1.3 mm. *As these are foreign products, there may be slight chips or variations in size, so please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to such details. I would be happy to offer them to someone who will appreciate them. I will carefully wrap them in bubble wrap and send them via the most economical shipping method. AKO☆
