Howlite 20 beads Approximately 1cm, 20 beads I purchased these as part of a bracelet several years ago. I was told they were howlite at the time. The string broke, leaving only the beads, so I hope someone can use them for handmade crafts or accessories. Personally, I don't see any noticeable scratches or stains, but please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about such things. Please understand that these have been stored at home by a private individual. *I have tried to photograph them in colors as close to the actual product as possible, but please note that there are limitations due to smartphone photography and lighting conditions.
