This 16 in. strand includes about 28 Andean serpentine stone beads. The beads were hand-cut in a tube or cylinder shape and drilled by Peruvian crafts people. The beads are coated with a clear solution that helps to smooth and protect them and enhances their luster.
Because they are handcut, there are variations in the sizes of the beads and the sizes and positions of the holes. They are 15 mm long and 8 mm in diameter, with 1 mm holes.
