Barrel Beads

Barrel beads are cylinders with gently rounded sides, drilled end to end, sturdy enough to carry a men's bracelet and shapely enough to break up a run of rounds. Lapis lazuli, black sardonyx, malachite, petrified wood, lemon chrysoprase, carnelian, Guatemalan jade and rainbow fluorite are cut as barrels, alongside wood and brass, sold by the strand.
