The fine round lapis lazuli beads on this strand feature a royal blue color. Round beads are a staple of strung designs and look great when strung on their own to create a simple, dark-blue strand, used individually as separators or accent beads, or combined with other shapes and sizes of beads in more complex earring, bracelets and matched sets—combine them with complementary-color stones to create complex designs. Lapis lazuli is a metamorphic stone composed of lazurite, pyrite, and calcite. It exhibits a shade of blue resulting from the relative color percentages of these minerals. Ready to string, this package contains one temporarily strung 15"–16" strand.
