Product Info

Beautiful natural and untreated Arizona Sleeping Beauty turquoise, hand faceted into distinctive heishi—or tire-shaped—beads.

The beads range from approximately 5.5mm to 9mm and display the classic medium blue associated with Sleeping Beauty turquoise. Each bead has been individually faceted, allowing the surface to catch the light and create a subtle sparkle not usually seen in traditional smooth heishi beads.

The listing videos show the strand under two different lighting conditions to provide the most accurate representation possible of its color and sparkle.

With their iconic blue color and unusual faceted finish, these beautiful beads are an exceptional choice for creating distinctive jewelry.  These are very clean stones with little to no matrix present.
