Beads average about 8mm in diameter and are largely consistent across the strand in size & shape. These Kyanite Rondelles have a shape reminiscent of a tire with a deep blue color that comes through dense but translucent bodies. Internal characteristics are evident, but consist of striations parallel to the circumference of the bead. Some beads display a marvelous Cat's Eye effect familiar to fans of Kyanite. Beads include 1mm large drill hole for maximizing versatility in stringing material.
