Qiwan 35PCS 10mm Natural Orange Blue Sodalite Gemstone Loose Round Beads Crystal Energy Stone Healing Power for Jewelry Making 1 Strand 15"

The beads I received were not actual tiger eye beads... well actually only 3-4 beads were tiger eye beads the rest were some other type of faded beads. I tried to return them however it would cost me about the same amount that I paid for them so I would have paid for nothing so I had no choice but to keep the beads paying $8 for 3 tiger eye beads.

Good value. What you would expect for this price point when in comes to stones and gems.I will say there were at least 8 beads with faulty drilling. For example, crooked or one hole drilled halfway and then the final hole right beside it. Nothing that bothered me too much, but FYI.

They are beautiful beads. I love howlite. They are true to size and each bead is unique. I made a mala out of these beads. It’s beautiful and I always get Compliments.

I ordered 4 sets of beads. Totally happy with all but this set., I know there can be some variation but this is night and day difference. Looking for the soft bluish green and got a med/dark jade green.

(6mm Sodalite beads)These beads are mostly blue or dark blue, not mostly white like the less expensive sodalite beads. I like them so much that I am ordering the 8mm size, too.(8mm brown picture jasper)The color is very soothing and doesn't vary too widely. The beads are somewhat matte, not highly polished but I like it because it makes them look more rustic. These are mostly yellow hued beads that will go well with autumn themed combination. I like the mellowness of these beads that I immediately ordered the 6mm size, too.(6mm and 8mm Maifanite)I have not come across maifanite beads. I ordered them just to see what they look like in person. The beads look very much like the photos. They are grey in hue. If you want beads that are in the grey family, these are good choices. Some do have reddish and yellowish bits but the main tone is grey.Overall, I am pretty satisfied with this seller. The shipping is fast. The beads look like the photos. The bead size is rather true to claim.

It seems that the gemstone beads that come from China such as Cheavian, Qiwan, and Yochus, have their sizes wrong. They are sending out 4mm gemstones in the place of 6mm. Although their package will still say they are 6mm. But they are not. I don't know about the other sizes. I just wanted to let others know that so they don't waste their time ordering the wrong size. I bought many 6mm beads from these 3 companies and they always came as 4mm. So order one size up if you want 6mm beads. As far as the look of the beads I can't complain. There are no cracks and they are smooth and nicely polished. That is why I still give them 3 stars. Very pretty!

I got a strand of floritite and they are very pretty and colorful. I got 62 beads on this strand and they are all uniform in size and shape. I'm very happy with the value to price of these.

I'm a big fan of these beads they are really popular right now in the beading world. To be able to get the beads I need at a great price with quilty is a win, win for me. *Knock on wood* I've not had a single bead that has been broken in any of my orders! They are well packaged and on time, I will definitely be back to buy more. **NOTE ALWAYS check and check again before placing your order that you are getting the right size beads** xo
