Stone Beads — Onyx, Sardonyx, Lava Stone, Obsidian, Black Stones.

Onyx - rich, glossy black, and Sardonyx - Glossy black and white. The high gloss of these stones is a distinctive characteristic.

Obsidian is volcanic glass. Lava stone is also from volcanoes, but has an interesting, porous texture.

We try to choose consistent stock, but the nature of natural stones is that there will be inconsistency between strands and between individual beads.
