๐ About Hubei Turquoise
Hubei Province in China is one of the world's well-known sources of turquoise and is especially recognized for turquoise with beautiful green coloration and distinctive natural matrix.
These strands have a particularly earthy appearance, displaying a natural mixture of:
๐ฟ Olive Green
๐ Turquoise Green
๐ฉต Blue-Green Accents
๐ค Chocolate & Reddish Brown
๐ Golden Brown & Tan
๐ค Cream & Pale Mineral Areas
๐ค Dark Matrix & Veining
The combination gives these beads a more rustic and organic appearance than bright, uniformly blue turquoise.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
๐ชจ Beautiful Freeform Nugget Shape
These beads are not calibrated or perfectly uniform. Each piece has its own individual shape and dimensions.
Some beads are:
โจ Small & Rounded
๐ฟ Flat & Disc-Like
๐ชจ Chunky & Irregular
ใฐ๏ธ Thin & Organic
๐ Naturally Asymmetrical
The assorted 4mmโ7mm size range creates wonderful texture when the beads are strung together.
This irregularity is intentional and is one of the main characteristics of this style.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
๐จ Earthy Green Turquoise
If you prefer turquoise with a more natural, earthy appearance, these strands are an excellent choice.
Rather than predominantly bright turquoise blue, these beads lean toward:
๐ฟ Green
๐ซ Olive
๐ค Brown
๐ Tan
๐ฉต Muted Blue-Green
The natural combination works especially well with silver, copper, brass, leather, wood, coral, and other earth-tone gemstones.
