I love faceted chunks. I just do. These are no exception. The beads are big and bold yet refined at the same time, as the faceting lends a note of sophistication. The fire agates have a good color range within the strand moving from dark to light, with some of the beads having lovely white color striations. The beads range in size from 20 mm to 28 mm. Each strand is 16 inches and contains approximately 18 beads.
