HAAMIIQII 5-8mm Natural White Howlite Chips Beads Irregular Chip Stones Loose Gemstone Beads for Jewelry Making Strand 30 Inch

I have no way of knowing weather these are real or not at a glance. They don't really feel like stone. they are very lightweight. They could be clear resin for all I know. There is a lot of fraud happening, on Amazon, with stones, or faking stones. It benefits the company to be very clear about which products are natural, synthetic, man made, dyed, treated, etc. I won't go to these first when working pieces, and may not use them, as I just can not be certain they are stones. They just don't feel like stone.

I love the beads, which finally arrived today...but ye GODS, they took a long time to not only ship, but to get here. Buyers, be prepared for a wait.With that said, these beads were worth the wait. Very funky, vibrant & shiny colors, and one strand is a LOT of beads (1 strand easily filled one of the large Elizabeth Ward bead-storage containers). no chips, no broken beads, exactly as described.

Quite a few of these beads were damaged and broke off the string when I received them ( approximately 15-20) and the quality, was just not there. They did not look, nor did they feel like genuine real blue apatite.

Really nice chips that are all po;lished with no sharp edges and nice sized. Many times I get chips that are too small and not tumbled long enough. The color is also beautiful. WIll be buying more from this seller.

These stones are vibrant and really nice. I didn't get any 6mm in this shipment though. I will definitely order more from this company, shipping was very fast!

The quantity and quality of the stones is very nice. Shipping was fast. I only gave it a rating of 3 stars for the following reason. The description is correct, stones fall in sizes between 5 to 8 mm, but the strand I received was very much on the 5 to 6 mm scale. 80 to 90% of the stand are all smaller stones. There were very few in the larger 7 to 8 mm range. So if you need the larger size stones for a project, you may need to consider buying ones that the smaller range is in that spectrum.

These chip beads are much smaller than I had expected. I purchased other stones that were 4-5mm and they were true to size. These are very, very small. Giving it 3 stars because I received the package on time and the stones looked very pretty. Only they are small.

Did not expect for them to be so little I wish to return but it looks like they're going to take the majority of my money so I might as well keep the little bitty things I'm not happy at all it's great if you want pieces that small. It looks like I only be getting $2 back for a $7.99 item. Not happy
