These 11x8mm Cape Amethyst plain oval beads showcase the natural, understated beauty of this distinctive South African quartz. Soft lavender to smoky violet tones mingle with translucent gray and milky inclusions, creating a calm, organic palette that feels earthy rather than overly polished. The smooth, unfaceted oval shape allows the natural color zoning and internal character of the stone to take center stage, giving each bead a quiet depth and subtle variation.
Cape Amethyst is prized for its muted elegance and versatility, making these ovals an excellent choice for designs that lean natural, grounded, or minimalist. They work beautifully in strand necklaces, bracelets, or as spacers alongside more faceted or high-contrast stones. As with all natural gemstones, color, clarity, and pattern will vary from bead to bead, ensuring every strand has its own unique, one-of-a-kind character.
