NOTICE, these strands graduate, but not to the center like normal, instead one end is smaller 9-10mm and it graduates up to 13-14mm.   Note that the shapes and widths are not consistant as they are hand cut.

Tiffany Stone comes only from the Brush Wellman beryllium mine in the Western deserts of Utah. The mine is not public for collecting and very little of this material is available.   It is a soft to hard Opalized stone composed of predominantly Opalized fluorite (blues, purples and whites), often with many other minerals such as Agate, Dolomite, Rhodonite, Manganese oxide, Beryllium and others. It often has a "crackled" appearance and is considered one of the most scarce, beautiful and unusual stones in the world.   Sometimes known as bertrandite, ice cream opal, opal flourite and 'Purple Passion', it's a wonderfuly colorful stone with purple, lavender, creamy white and sometimes patches of mauve, yellowish-brown and black matrix.
