100% natural apatite beads! A gorgeous mix of blue, green, and yellow apatite.

The most prolific deposits of apatite are found in ancient marine and lakebed environments and consist of mineralized debris from water-dwelling organisms.

Apatite gemstones can vary from translucent to opaque and with vivid green, yellow, and blue colors, depending on their chemical composition. It is commonly used as an index mineral because pure apatite is near a perfect five on the Mohs Hardness Scale.

Recommendations

For beads 4mm and smaller, it is recommended to start with stringing wires no larger than .013inch / .33mm. This will ensure a proper fit and in most cases allow for feeding of the wire tip back through the beads for a clean finish.

Elastic cords can be used with beads 4mm and larger, but it will not fit through most beads smaller than 4mm. It's recommended to use 0.5mm elastic cord.

These recommendations are intended to help guide you for a successful project. With time and experience you'll discover what works best for your designs.

Wonderful Showing of the Variety of Color

I bought the strand of Ombre Apatite beads because Tejas beads show wonderful pictures of the gemstone beads they have for sale. These beads had the nicest color I have seen, and were affordable too. I have not been disappointed with the quality of the beads that I have bought from Tejas Beads, and this seller IS my absolute FAVORITE gemstone beads seller. They also offer information of every gemstone they carry.
