Rainbow Moonstone [A grade] Round Gemstone Beads – 6mm [strand]

Full strand of genuine Rainbow Moonstone gemstone beads, in a polished 6mm round shape. Rainbow Moonstone refers to Moonstone that contains the blue/green flash (not to be confused with White Moonstone which is a different variety of Moonstone. White Moonstone does not contain any flashes of colour, and has more of a white Cats-eye appearance). These are A grade natural Rainbow Moonstone, which in this case means they are almost entirely clear of any black/brown inclusions. Please keep in mind that the blue/green flash is VERY subtle and not apparent in every bead.

Strand Length: Approx. 38cm to 40cm (15 to 16 inches)
Bead Size: approx. 6mm (there is a small amount of size variation on the strand, with the occasional bead being slightly smaller at around 5.5mm).
Hole Size: Approx. 0.6mm to 0.8mm
Beads per strand: Approx. 62-65*

*Please note: All sizes and quantities are approximate; bead size may vary up to 10% (either smaller or larger), and consequently number of beads per strand may vary slightly. Strand length, bead size and number of beads per strand may vary +/- 10%. Our beads of a high quality, but this approximation is the nature of gemstone beads.

Notes on colour: The photos included are of the actual stock, and we have tried our very best to accurately show the colours within these beads. We do not edit our photos to change the colour whatsoever, however colour between computer monitors and/or phone screens do vary so please keep that in mind. We have also included a photo outside in natural light to assist in accurate colour depiction.

Grading System: Most of our gemstone beads are not graded, and are of a standard (very high) quality. Only some gemstones are labelled with a grade, and those are generally the more expensive or rare gemstones. The reason for this is these stones are often offered in lower grades in addition to the A grade, to provide more affordable options. We offer many of these rarer stones in an A and B grade, and occasionally an AB grade. We will clarify in the item description what this grade means in relation to that particular gemstone, as there is no universal set system for grading gemstone beads.
