Picture Stone bead strands for jewellery making
Interesting picture stone beads - perfect for jewellers looking for something a little unusual.
This stone often looks like an artists interpretation of a desert scene - especially when tumbled, or cut into slices and polished.
The beads don't quite have that same effect; at least, not the smaller beads. The larger ones may well resemble a landscape.
These were previously sold as Picture Jasper, but that is a trade name - we are trying to avoid using those where possible. This material is a dendritic layered siltstone from China, not a form of Jasper.
The material is sometimes also known as "Picture Jasper" or "Kalahari Picture Stone", and 'Picture stone' is itself a trade name - however, we are trying to avoid using any trade names which misuse the name of another mineral.
These beads are not freeforms, but they are also not calibrated beads - as such, an 8MM strand may contain beads that are 7.5MM or 8.5MM - the sizes may vary a little. Obviously, this doesn’t apply to the chip beads – these are random sizes!
The pictures you see here are representative of the products and are usually not the exact item you will receive. Where various grades are available we do try to photograph each grade - but some photographs are still on their way!
