Twenty faceted green onyx rondelles, to add a deep green note to a creation without committing to a full thread. Under the light, each facet hints at the transparency of the material.
Characteristics:
Twenty beads are enough for an alternated bracelet with gold seed beads, a pair of earrings, or a few spacers in a necklace. The hole of about 0.8 mm accepts nylon thread, a fine cable, or elastic thread. For a larger project, the full thread of about 166 beads is also available.
A bit of gemology: onyx, agate, and carnelian belong to the same family, that of chalcedonies: quartz whose crystals, microscopic and fibrous, intertwine into a compact mass. This structure explains both their toughness (hardness of 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, density close to 2.6) and their ability to take dye: colorants penetrate between the fibers and set there durably. In antiquity already, Roman lapidaries colored chalcedonies through successive baths and then heating.
Good to know: the green of these beads is obtained by dyeing the chalcedony, followed by heating that stabilizes the color. This is the standard treatment for green onyx. To preserve it, avoid prolonged baths, solvents, and alcohol.
In lithotherapy: stone of the heart chakra, green onyx is said to bring calm, steadiness, and inner balance.
Natural origin product: size, shape, and shade may vary slightly from one lot to another. Dimensions are given for information only.
