These are very fine, small, natural aquamarine chip beads with excellent colour, clarity and shine. They are fine cut chips (not overly chunky) and measure 4-6mm wide and thickness varies from 1-2mm upwards. Extremely pretty and unusual greenish shade of natural Aquamarine.

Aquamarine is the blue to blue-green version of Beryl. Beryl also contains other gem varieties, including Emerald, and is a more valuable gemstone. Its name is derived from Latin and means 'water of the sea'.
