This is for AA+ Prehnite Faceted Twisted Flat Teardrop Briolettes 8-9x12-13mm 16beads from the same strand that you see in the photos. The stones are much prettier in real life. Though there are some subtle color differences from stone to stone the photos seem to exaggerate the differences. Expect more of an apple green color than you see in the pictures. Prehnite is not quite as clean as some other stones; some inclusions and a soft blurriness is typical. However, the stones have a rare glow about them peculiar only to prehnite. This radiance from within and the soft apple green color lend an ethereal quality to these gems. They are really quite special. We don't recommend these if you need pristine and flawless stones, because of the inclusions. However, since this stone's strong suit is not clarity, but rather color and "glow", we still think these are gorgeous. The stones are cut into a twisted flat pear shape. This set has 16 briolettes ranging in size from about 8-8.8x11.7-12.6mm. We tried to select matched pairs, but since the beads are hand- cut and vary some in shape/size/color matches will be pretty good, but not perfect. Our ebay price for these would have been $63.75, so you are saving $6.39 by purchasing them here at ranamountainstudio.com.
