Not actually turquoise, and better for it.
Despite the name, African turquoise is technically a jasper — a naturally occurring stone with its own earthy, mottled coloring rather than a dyed or reconstituted version of true turquoise. It's popularly associated with growth, change, and evolution, which tracks with how differently every bead comes out: no two strands match exactly, and this one's no exception.
Genuine stone, strung as 8mm beads on stretch cord, sold individually.
Good for anyone who wants an earthy, grounded look instead of bright blue turquoise, people navigating a big life transition, and collectors who appreciate a stone that's honest about what it actually is.
