Natural Opal Gemstone Round Loose Spacer Beads 16'' 4 6 8 10 12 Mm

Labelled as "Natural Opal Gemstone" I strongly believe these beads are actually OPALITE which is not a genuine gemstone. 😕 ↘️POSITIVE POINT! 👌🏽😁👍🏽 The beads are just as pictured and rather lovely. If you just want beads that are pretty and look like the seller's photos, these are a 5⭐ purchase. HOWEVER, I WANTED GENUINE GEMSTONE BEADS as stated. ☹ These beads are likely OPALITE which is man- made glass (SEE SCREENSHOT IN MY PHOTOS) or natural OPALITE, which: "is a natural stone and chemically identical to opal, opalized from volcanic ash. Considered lower grade opal as the opalescence occurs when cut into "cat-eye" cabochons". The following is a link to a web post that is useful in explaining the difference and, is where the quote above comes from: https://barefootnativejewelry.com/opal-vs-opalite As a buyer like myself, to be certain you are getting true opal, you need to see a gemologist's certificate according to a good YouTube video I watched: https://youtu.be/fMsfLrbf_Q8 I believe these beads are actually OPALITE but, I'm not sure if they are Natural Opalite or Simulated. If you are not worried about having genuine gemstones and just what the appearance of them, these are an excellent choice. OF THE SELLER CAN PROVIDE A CERTIFICATE I WILL HAPPILY CHANGE MY REVIEW TO 5⭐. They are very pretty 👌🏽😌👍🏽

attached picture of the other opal stones received from Joom (left side loose beads) and this one (on right side on the cord) received now. this new one does not have an opal stone effect, like the other one with the light yellow/bluish reflective effect on a day light has, as the usual opal stones have... from the same supplier I had better quality opal beads received before...

beautiful, like on the picture, 6 mm, small not heavy

lovely beads just as described very happy
