Cherry Blossom Beads Black Obsidian Beads 12x15mm Faceted Top-Drilled Teardrop - 12 pcs/ 8 Inch Strand

I got these to make earrings for my son's girlfriend. It was easy to find a pair that matched, and they were cut well.

Obsidian stones are by far, my favorite. It's classy, smooth like glass. It has natural healing properties to help ward off negative energies around you.

Despite the low price, these look like true rose quartz. I have no idea how expensive they should be, but these look like the real deal, and are super affordable, so I'm a little skeptical! Make sure you're using a 24 gage wire or smaller if you intend to wrap these.

These are sooooo sweet! I have already ordered more. They make the most precious pendant! Love these!

Nice gemstones.

They look good to me. One bead was drilled poorly

They’re ok. They’re more than other stones Cherry Blossom sellers of the same size and shape. However, mich like the more expensive amethyst teardrops (same size beads and 8 inch strand) the quantity of beads is unacceptably uneven with other beads of the same length strand (it should be 8 inches).Tiger’s Eye beads (same size and shape, but only $6/8 inch strand) came with 15 beads.Amethyst beads (same size and shape, same price as these $8/8 inch strand) came with 12 total beads.These carnelians came with many natural airbpockets in them, making them look defective, and even with the same size of bead and same length of strand, came with 12 beads.I notice some stones, those that are more expensive, also come with a fair few less beads.May buy the carnelian again, but considering sources that might be a bit more consistent for the price. It’s difficult to make and sell jewelry when the cost per bead is fluctuating.

These are all red and not terribly attractive. Since they came the first time without label (no indication which jasper– there are three types and I bought all three!) is which, I hastened a guess. All images show multi-colored stones. Unfortunately, what I would have least expected would be sent in all red, “rainbow jasper” came in all red. Again. Very disappointed.The Ocean Jasper is fine. Lots of color variety. I am nervous to say that the Fancy jasper is multicolored because it’s mostly green and red stones.The Amazonite ones were pretty. But Amazon doesn’t allow me to leave reviews for different beads if they’re on the same page.Warning: don’t assume variety and quality will reflect what is in the image. Also be aware a fair few have natural air pockets that make them appear defective.
