Yes. Where the product is identified as Natural, it is genuine natural stone.

We clearly distinguish natural, treated, and synthetic materials on our website so our wholesale and retail customers can make an informed purchasing decision.

Natural gemstones can contain natural inclusions, color variations, crystalline patterns, and other characteristics formed during their millions of years of geological formation.

Natural gemstones are formed by nature, so color and appearance naturally vary from stone to stone and from batch to batch.

Differences may occur in:

• Color tone and shade
• Color intensity and saturation
• Veining and mineral patterns
• Transparency and opacity
• Natural inclusions and mineral spots
• Surface luster

Photography, lighting conditions, and individual monitor display settings can also affect screen color. Our photos represent the general quality and character of the batch.

No. Natural gemstones are not identical synthetic plastics. Natural variations are part of the character and organic beauty of genuine earth-mined stones.

Beads from the same strand or batch may exhibit subtle differences in color, pattern, inclusions, and clarity.

If you require exceptionally uniform color or grade for commercial production, please contact us before ordering so we can hand-check availability.
