Description:
Gray Lava Beads are crafted from colored volcanic lava stone, giving them a porous, textured appearance. They are available in round or rondelle shapes, providing versatility for various designs. Their gray color and natural matte finish make them easy to pair with other beads or materials. These beads come in multiple sizes (6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 16mm, 18mm), with a strand length of approximately 15 inches and varying bead counts per size. The beads have a hole size between 1.5mm and 2mm, suitable for threading cords or wires for jewelry-making projects.
