RARE, expensive and such peaceful colors in Azurite-Malachite. This is genuine Lapis & Malachite compounded together to give this stone strength - this is a very common process used in Turquoise beads. This shape was so hard to find! These genuine rounded rectangles are simply gorgeous and can be used for some outstanding jewelry project results. They will vary slightly in size, color and shape as no 2 stones are alike. This price is for 6 of these rare beauties. This picture is enlarged to show detail. This photo is enlarged to show detail
