Nellite Bead Strand 6 mm

Nellite (also known as lion skin) is an unusual stone. Found in South Africa in the area of the tiger eye mines, it appears to be

an intermediary stone between tiger eye and pietersite, as it has the golden shimmer of tiger eye and the blue crocidolite that

also gives pietersite its blue color. Its high silica content gives it translucency and a depth like labradorite when cut into these

beads. 

In these 6 mm round bead strands, these bead strands show their mineral characteristics up close. In jewelry, and from a

distance, the blues and golden/tans blend into each other and are muted enough to go with many kinds/colors of other beads

and outfits. 

Size: 6 mm diameter beads, about 60 beads per strand.

Unit for sale: 1 strand

Mined in South Africa. Made in China.
