🩵 Robin's-egg & turquoise blue
🌊 Aqua & blue-green

🫒 Olive & earthy green
🤎 Tan, brown & rust-colored matrix
🖤 Dark gray and black matrix
Some beads have relatively clean coloration, while others display bold matrix, veining, or earthy host-rock patterns.
📿 Classic Heishi / Disc Shape
At approximately 3–4mm in diameter and 2–3mm thick, these are petite but substantial heishi beads.
With approximately 170 beads per strand, they are excellent for creating full turquoise necklaces or separating into multiple jewelry projects.
The irregularity between individual pieces gives them a more organic artisan appearance than perfectly calibrated machine-cut heishi.
💍 Perfect for Jewelry Making
Excellent for Southwestern-inspired necklaces, bracelets, earrings, layering necklaces, chokers, bohemian jewelry, gemstone spacers, and artisan designs.
These Hubei turquoise heishi beads coordinate especially well with Spiny Oyster shell, coral, sterling silver, Kingman turquoise, lapis, pearls, and shell beads.
