Nugget Beads

Nugget beads are chunky, irregular pieces of stone with an organic outline, tumbled smooth or left raw-cut, so no two on a strand match. Larger and bolder than chips, they make statement necklaces and bracelets with real weight. Watermelon tourmaline, amethyst, citrine, labradorite, blue apatite, Australian chrysoprase, black tourmaline and garnet are cut as nuggets, sold by the strand.
