What size are the chips and the hole?

The chips run about 5–8mm and the hole is about 1mm, so use thin beading wire or cord. Expect variation within that range, since chips are not calibrated.

How long is the strand?

About 31 inches. That is enough for several bracelets or one longer necklace, depending on your design.

Are the beads uniform in shape?

No. They are irregular chips, so shapes, sizes and color depth vary along the strand and between strands.

What stringing material works with a 1mm hole?

Fine beading wire, thin cord or elastic thread up to about 1mm. Thicker cord or large crimps will not pass through.

Is this real moonstone?

It is sold as moonstone chip beads. Chips are typically lower-grade stone than faceted rounds, so expect milky translucence with some inclusions rather than a clear sheen.

Can I use these for wire wrapping?

Yes. The flat, irregular shapes give wire something to grip, which suits wire-wrapped pendants and boho-style pieces.
