Note: These are general guidelines. The actually hole size may be slightly larger or smaller than stated.
Noteworthy

Hypersthene material has become extremely rare, leading some companies to falsely market Arfvedsonite under its name. While both minerals are dark in color, hypersthene stands out with its distinct patterns and schiller. Don't be fooled!

Mostly black

These don't have quite the variation as in the photos. But they are very cool! Not a solid black, when you look at them closely. Turn them around, and you'll see translucent luster and sheen. Some beads do have brown.
