These are old stock green turquoise beads cut into flat nuggets. The natural turquoise beads are a lovely olive green color, with a rusty brown matrix. They are flat oval nuggets with excellent polish and shine too. The green comes from its zinc and copper content and is not dyed. They are rare, old stock beads from the 1980's.
