Description

The listing, seven strands of chip beads has ended.

these are mineral/stone chip beads. some i do not know the name of, but the brown is definitely tiger eye, the blue might be a low grade lapis, the small redish strand is a quartz. the long red and long blue strands are interesting, very blocky chips, and opaque. a little glossy, but have a slight chalky look to them. the purple and green are glossy and more polished, but still opaque. i got these as part of a great deal, and they are super interesting but have been hard for me to incorporate in my designs. if you think they will work for you, that would be fantastic. let me know if you want more pics or have questions.

Questions & Comments

They vary a lot, but I did some sample measures and in general they are 3-6 mm wide and 2-4 mm thick. Here are more specifics by the strands (because the sizes do vary between the different beads).

tiger eye: between 5-7 mm wide, and depth of 1-6.
lapis type: 4-7 mm wide, depth 2-5
quartz (reddish/variety): 5-7mm wide, depth 2-5mm
opaque blue: 3-4 mm wide, 1-3 mm thick
opaque red/orange: 5-6mm wide, 2-3mm thick
purple: 5-7 mm wide, 2-3mm thick
green: 4-7 mm wide, 2-3 mm thick

Please be warned there is def a margin of error there - I just tried to measure what looked liked the smallest/biggest and did a few samples on each strand. For each one you have a wide variety of shapes and sizes within that general range. Hope this helps :)

Also, any of you who fan me, I'll do the same. Thank you.
