Out of stockA strand of Turquoise disk beads traded in Ghana, W. Africa. Found for Funky Frog by Hidir, a favourite Trader. Each strand is about 32" and the beads are about 1x6 mm strung on string. The beads are handmade so will vary in size, shape and colour. After some research it seems these beads are probably Howlite a stone or gem in and of itself but also well known for its ability to be dyed and look like other stones/gems. Howlite is a stone of patience and perspective, for those who feel they need to slow it down, absorb, and clear the constant stream of chatter from the mind, it's a crystal that marries you to a more mindful way of life. So not 'real' turquoise' but still a treasure!
