- WHAT MAKES THESE GREEN ARAGONITE BEADS SPECIAL? Beautiful green in normal light, with a hidden glow after dark! These eye-catching Mexican Green Aragonite beads, also known as Cave Calcite, reveal a striking glow-in-the-dark effect after exposure to light. The glow gradually fades and can be recharged by exposing the beads to light again.
- WHERE DOES THIS ARAGONITE COME FROM? Sourced from Mexico, this distinctive cave-formed material combines beautiful green tones with a surprising luminous effect. Its unusual appearance gives every strand character that stands apart from ordinary gemstone beads.
- WHAT WILL I RECEIVE? You will receive one approximately 15.5-inch strand of smooth round beads with approximately 1mm drilled holes. These are loose beads temporarily strung for convenient handling and are not a finished necklace or bracelet.
- HOW ARE THESE BEADS COLORED & WHAT CAN I MAKE WITH THEM? The distinctive green color is heat treated to create its eye-catching appearance. Perfect for DIY jewelry making, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, beading, crafts, and custom gemstone designs that deserve something different.

These beads are lovely. They are a little over 15.5 inches long. They are definitely natural stone. I know natural products vary in color, but it seems with natural beads that sellers post pictures of the highest quality bead color. Why not post a picture of the product we can actually expect to receive? These are more peachy than anything. I love peach so am not disappointed, but for someone expecting a more vibrant color like the photo, it seems you will not get that. Ironically with my photos the beads look darker than what they are, that is my camera. The background is a bright white napkin, so you can see how it was darkened a bit. I can’t change it so can only descibe it. The beads are really pretty and good quality. I would buy them again because I do love the peachy color. I just wanted to be upfront about the color and encourage sellers to post more realistic photos.

I bought these for the novelty of Yooperlite- the glow under UV light. What I didn’t realize was how beautiful these beads are in normal light! They are a marble-y gray with sprinkling of black, brown, and rust spots. Gorgeous! I hope they have some other sizes. The quality of the beads is great- they are all smooth, round and uniform in size. Nice gemstone beads!

Mexican Blue Aragonite Beads: These are not the bright purply blue color shown in the product photo. They are a more of a light grayish blue (see 1st photo), but I love them anyway and they do glow in the dark after exposing them to light. I tried to find information online about this stone/bead because it is supposed to be a natural stone but I do not find anything like it available anywhere. I have found other calcite beads but none that glow in the dark. In any case, I love these because my grandkids go crazy for “glow in the dark” bracelets I made with these and the color is still pretty, even if it isn’t exactly like the photos. Note: I have ordered these more than once and in 6mm and 8mm sizes and all are the color of the attached photo. Perhaps the seller was trying to show the color they appear when glowing in the dark as they do look purply blue then! (See second photo).

3/5 stars Morganite:
I’m using these to make a gift and they are a lovely assortment of gentle colors perfect for the person I am making a necklace for.
update:
an unacceptable number of beads had scratches, chips or bumps in the surface. Several of the blue ones with scratches or grooves have dark blue in the defect which makes me wonder about dye. I have included a photo of some of the beads which had damage, there were more. There are 2 beads from an order of the larger size of the same stone. I didn’t notice how bad all this was until I started working with them. I was able to make a necklace that was nice from what I had though.
5/5 Stars for Golden Sunstone:
The way these catch light is exquisite. I can’t really do it justice with a still photo so I won’t try

¡Me encantaron!
Es el mejor lapislázuli que he comprado, como en la foto, de azúl muy intenso y notable pirita. Ojalá tuvieran de 3mm.

They may not be identical, but the stones look a lot like the ones in the pictures. Beautiful ❤️

Beware! They color enhance the photos or shipped the wrong beads-idk. The color quality I received is like a light greenish-gray when I was expecting a geeenish-teal. Not what I was expecting or planning for my project and now I have to find a substitute.

Larimar is considered to be the stone of the mother. It represents compassion, understanding, and nurturing. I made 2 bracelets with the single strand of beads I purchased, one for a friend who suffered a miscarriage and one for me. These beads look exactly like the ones pictured; there were no “duds” on the strand, all the beads were pretty and usable. I am very happy with my purchase, and I will likely order more beads from this seller.
