๐ About Hubei Turquoise
Hubei Province in China is a well-known source of natural turquoise and is especially appreciated for the wide variety of colors and matrix patterns found in the material.
These strands showcase a beautiful natural mixture of:
๐ฉต Classic Turquoise Blue
๐ Aqua & Blue-Green
๐ฟ Soft Green
๐ Deeper Green Tones
๐ค Brown & Tan Matrix
๐ค Dark Mineral Markings
๐ Occasional Warm Earthy Tones
ใฐ๏ธ Natural Veining & Pattern Variation
Rather than looking perfectly uniform, the changing colors throughout the strand give these beads a wonderful handcrafted and natural character.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
โจ Classic Heishi / Disc Shape
The approximately 2mm x 6mm proportions create a thin disc-shaped bead that is commonly referred to as heishi.
When strung together, the beads create a beautiful continuous line of turquoise while still showing the individual colors and matrix patterns of each stone.
Their relatively thin profile also makes them excellent for adding texture without making a piece of jewelry overly bulky.
