Blue Imperial Jasper Gemstone Loose Beads 6mm 62 Beads Per 15.5" Strand

So I ordered these beads off of Amazon. I was a bit nervous, because the reviews were mixed, but I took the chance anyways. I received these beads in the mail today and OMG you guys, these beads are absolutely stunning. They were extremely well packaged. The color is very vibrant, the weight is good and all of the beads are perfect....no chips or broken beads. They also feel very good quality. They don't feel cheap or plastic-y. I already have at LEAST two projects in mind that include these beads (I got the Blue Imperial Jasper 10mm) and I SHALL be purchasing these again. Absolutely in love with these beads..

Alright I went on a limb here because it said it should not be dyed but given the high pigment I was sooooo curious and I had to sacrafice the first one to the bead gods.The color is evenly through except where it seems to bleed into some of the veining within it. I looked under a microscope at 250x magnification (photos included), I placed the bead on an acetone soaked pad, 0 pigment has come off so IF THIS IS DYED, I have faith it will hold up to the test of time, and I'll surely never know.

Not as shiny as in the picture but the colors will be the start of my fall collection. AAAA

Really pretty beads, with wonderful variations in the string. Some mostly blue, some mostly green, and quite a few balanced. I love them and they look great with my project. True to size, flawless.

Does not look like the picture, there are no gold looking deposits. The beads look like a man made composite. Otherwise they are an interesting combo of color and texture.

So very very pretty and the amount on the strand is perfect for making a necklace. They look like they have specs of gold in the picture but the beads have more beige specs. Seriously, if you were across the room they'd look like real turquoise. I'll definitely buy more of these.

These are certainly beautiful but smaller than I had expected. I will likely use them in decor and not as jewelry. Beautiful striations and deep turquoise color.

I have been looking at these beads for a while and was really excited when I ordered them. Of course ordering beads online you always wonder what you are going to get, since you don't get to handle them and you are not getting what is in the picture. But for the most part I've always been happy with what I got. I was very disappointed with the quality and overall of these beads. the color is a dull turquoise with to many imperfections and not at all glossy like the picture. They are the ugliest beads I've ever ordered online.

Nice quality and colours in these jasper beads. Good quality, good price

Me gusto el color y tamaño, lo usé para pulsera y collar, son ideales....

J'aime les pierres mais je l'ai ai reçu d'une autre couleur que celle annoncée..

c’est parfait pour faire toute sorte bijoux ,de bonne qualité!

Most beads are "good", only 2 with defects. My dissatisfaction is because there are 22 beads that are more brown or beige than blue. Out of 48 beads, only 26 are blue enough for me to use for my planned project, 😔. Not sure if that is normal?*Edit - because I use these for Chakra bracelets, I am wondering if the brown and beige are both considered "brown Jasper"?Seller please advise.
