This item is approximately (65+/-) 6mm VERY Pale Rose Quartz Smooth Round Beads temporarily strung on VERY bright pink thread. These looked great in the box due to the thread running through them (see second photo), but once they were removed from the thread they are a VERY Pale Pink Rose Quartz (see first photo). The good news...I doubt these are dyed, so if very natural or very pale pink is what you are looking for, we have 100's of these strands. These beads are great for making necklaces, bracelets, earrings and more. Any questions just ask. Many More Jewelry Making Supplies Coming Soon from Alice's Looking Glass Jewelry!!!
