African Turquoise is not actually Turquoise, but rather a speckled teal Jasper found in Africa and often treated to simulate the beautiful blue-green associated with true Turquoise. It contains inclusions such as copper and iron, creating veins and mottling that ranges in color from rust to black. Considered a stone of transformation and evolution, it is believed to awaken those who carry it to their highest spiritual purpose. As with all natural stones, colour and look may differ from strand to strand and even from bead to bead. Beads: Coin 12mm - 16 pieces Chips 4mm-8mm - 90cm strand
