stone beads

Mineral necklace components

Stone beads are small pieces of stone, drilled or carved for stringing into jewelry or decorative items.

They range from common materials like jasper and agate to precious stones like turquoise and lapis lazuli.

Archaeological finds of stone beads date back tens of thousands of years, making them among humanity's oldest ornaments: a necklace of polished stone beads.
