Turundu Sapphire Faceted Round Beads
Unit of measure: Strand
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.
