Turundu 'Sapphire' Faceted Round Beads - Approx 2.5-3mm

Price: £51.99 / each

These turundu 'sapphire' beads are a beautiful selection of autumnal colours, varying from plum red to bright orange. 

This stone is produced in Tundure near Tanzania, hence the name. Many companies will be selling Turundu simply as sapphire when in actual fact it is a type of garnet (which would be the reason for the excellent price tag!). None the less these are absolutely beautiful and the twinkle of the beads will charm you just the same.

  • Size: approx 2.5-3mm
  • Hole size: approximately 0.3mm
  • An approx 32cm strand contains approximately 135 beads.
  • Natural gemstone - no treatment
  • Hardness of 6.5-7.5 on the Moh's scale
  • Sold as a strand
  • Colour of beads may vary from image shown

I bought the sand dollar charm to make a holiday bracelet. It’s really lovely, subtle and pretty detail. Perfect piece and exactly as described.

I added a special request for moonstones with strong blue/green flashes and received 3 briolettes which were exactly that - some of the prettiest moonstones I’ve seen. Thank you!
