Teardrop Beads

Teardrop beads taper from a rounded base to a narrow point. Drilled across the top, they hang as drops for earrings, pendants and fringe; drilled through the length, they string in line as a focal run. Malachite, rainbow moonstone, blue apatite, blue kyanite, sodalite, bronzite, lemon chrysoprase and rainbow fluorite come as teardrops, sold by the strand.
