 | Turquoise Magnesite (scroll down for products) Description: Here we have our new, stunning Turquoise Magnesite. It is very commonly called Chalk Turquoise - which is in fact incorrect. There seems to be a lot of confusion in the bead marketplace about these stones.
To clear things up: These gorgeous beads are in fact not turquoise at all, but are a very convincing fake! They are dyed Magnesite - a beautiful natural stone in it's own right. They are a big improvement on the 'reconsituted' and 'block' turquoises that are available. These beads do not contain resin, so are heavy like real turquoise and highly shiny. I am in love with these beads!
