- What can I string through a 1 mm hole?
- Fine beading wire, thin nylon thread and most beading needles up to about 0.8 mm fit comfortably. Thicker leather cord, memory wire and most elastic cords will not pass through.
- Are these beads dyed or natural?
- They are sold as natural bamboo leaf agate. The green and white banding is typical of the stone, but expect variation in shade and pattern from strand to strand.
- How many beads do I need for a bracelet?
- A 7-inch bracelet of 4 mm beads takes roughly 44 beads, so one strand covers about two bracelets. Allow extra for knots, spacers and design waste.
- What is bamboo leaf agate?
- It is a banded agate variety with green and white layers, often marketed for grounding and calm. Those properties are traditional beliefs, not tested effects.
- Will the matte finish stay matte?
- Yes, but matte stone can polish slightly where it rubs against skin or other beads. Handle it gently and avoid abrasive cleaners to keep the soft look.
