Lapis Lazuli Tube Bead

This tube-shaped bead is created from natural lapis lazuli. Its deep royal blue color and linear design make it an ideal choice for both vintage and contemporary necklace and bracelet designs. String several beads together to create a bold, monochromatic effect, or alternate tube beads with other bead designs to create a texture-rich strand. Lapis lazuli is a metamorphic stone composed of lazurite, pyrite, and calcite. It exhibits a shade of blue resulting from the relative color percentages of these minerals.
