Large beads make beautiful center pieces in long necklaces. Make them into pendants with some wire and bead caps, add some tassels or charms and enjoy the feel of natural gemstone in your handmade jewelry.

Natural "dalmation jasper" or "dalmation stone". The beads are 18mm big and faceted. Hole size: 1,7-1,9mm. Sold per pkg of 2 beads. Note: the image gives you a good general idea of what the stone looks like, but colors and patterns of natural stones may vary from lot to lot.

Dalmation jasper is actually not a jasper, it is a trade name for this kind of dark-spotted perthite/feldspar.

Large beads like these are not always perfect. When a large gemstone is being formed into a bead, it's natural mineral fractures, small uneven areas or micro geodes are still there and may sometimes be seen in some beads. They are a natural part of the stone.
