Antique turquoise beads sourced in the Himalayan regions are magnificent in their colour and feel. Their freeform shape gives them real character. Natural oils from the skin will alter the colour of these beads from their original blues to much darker greens. Tibetans believe these beads help absorb toxins from the body. Notice the enlarged perforation on this bead. This gradually happens over the course of many years of being strung.
