7-8mm Green Opal Chips Beads for Jewelry Making Natural Gemstone Semi Precious 34" JOE FOREMAN

These beads are fake. Or IF they are real stones, they are definitely not Citrine. Anytime I purchase beads, I always spray them with alcohol to clean them and these beads immediately washed off color and dye.

These might be real aquamarine but they have been dyed to be more blue. When you look closely you can see the blue dye in cracks and crevices. It also makes them a little sticky.

Holes are drilled VERY POORLY. The beads have been drilled twice with BROKEN HOLES surrounding the outside of MANY of the beads. Horrible hole placement showing shoddy and careless workmanship as well, so they WILL break faster. Also arrived with MANY BROKEN STONES MAKING SOME UNUSABLE.. I would return but when I opened the packaging many broken beads were lost because they are no longer attached to the strand. Along with the color showing much less captivation than pictured. At least half of my smoky quartz beads do appear crystal instead of smoky as shown. Two thumbs down as I would not recommend these beads to anyone aspiring to make quality jewelry.

I bought one strand of rose quartz, one strand rutilated quartz, and one strand of peridot. Their quality actually isn't too bad, but they're advertised as being natural and two out of the three strands have clearly been dyed. I kind of figured that the rose quartz was dyed because the color shown is way too bright to be natural, but I still think it's extremely deceptive not to tell customers that they're buying dyed stones. I've included a picture that shows dye in the pitting of the quartz. The rutilated quartz was also dyed yellow. Much of the dye came off with a little toothpaste and a toothbrush.On The plus side, these do seem to be real stone. There's no air bubbles in the quartz and there are imperfections in the stones. The peridot also appears to be real. It contains black inclusions in quite a few of the beads.

I am in love with Tourmaline, for a while [About a year now] I kept hearing to carry Tourmaline with me but was finding it difficult to do so since it kept breaking. I had previously bought Black Larvikite beads from this seller and had loved the quality of the work which led me to buy this.First off, the amount I got is much more then what I thought, I managed to make about 7 bracelets with it and still have some left over. The stone itself looks beautiful and seem to shine, both the peoples I've gifted the bracelets I used this stone to make and myself have gotten compliments on it. I was highly satisfy by it and will be buying my stones from Joe Foreman, I've bought 4 products in total and all have exceeded my expectations.The stones came in vary size, some looked a bit chipped but I personally don't care about that since it still functions as desired. The prize was also great in my opinion especially for the amount I got [over 100].If there are any questions, feel free to ask, I'll be happy to reply to the best of my knowledge.

Gorgeous Amethyst chip beads! Every bead is a nice purple color, and they are all the perfect size for my use! I’ve been looking for nice-colored Amethyst chips for a while. Usually when you get a string of beads at least 1/3 are DULL (pale or whitish). Not these!!! I’m extremely happy and am ordering more!

I love this company. They deliver quality product at decent prices. However, this last order was not what I expected. The "beads" or chips were far smaller than what they advertised and some were broken up. I was very dissappointed with what I received.

I ordered different ones and I love my purchase, the only one I was kinda sad about was the multi stone piece because it wasn't very multi, but the rest of them came safely and look very beautiful. I'll post a picture with my review

Good sized chips for the price, but not very vibrant in colour - quite a few white and clear chips on the strand. I took a picture next to one of my higher quality rose quartz pieces as a comparison. Decent bargain though, so 4 stars overall.

I bought these to make jewelry but I ended up just wearing the whole strand as is. Very happy with this purchase

I received 7 types of crystals and all came as advertised. Nicely packaged and good quality. A little long right now for delivery because of COVID but it was worth the wait.

I use them to do Wired Bonsais and it works like a charm! Highly suggest this item...
